BARGER, GANN, WELBORN Cathie Schoppenhorst May 15, 2006 I want to find where my grandmother, Ida GANN nee BARGER, is buried. Her death certificate states she died Dec 16 1934 at Research Hospital in Little Rock. Her obituary from the Arkansas Gazette indicates she was a member of the Baptist Church in Aubrey. Funeral services were at the chapel of E H Brown at Clarendon. When I wrote to the funeral home years ago, they said they had no record of her. For residence on my father's birth certificate, it states Lee County, Aubrey is post office, in country about 6 miles. I think it is possible she was buried wherever they lived. My grandfather was James Ernest WELBORN but he went by the alias John GANN. Thank you! BICKERSTAFF, BLACK, SLAUGHTER Connie Stevens May 17, 2006 My G-G Grandfather was Erastus L BLACK.
