I was very surprised to find actual death dates in the directory. Maybe it’s there because they were prominent business people. My Grandfather says the Thorwards were very active in the community so it could be for that. I’ve never seen it before, that’s for sure!

I have not found actual dates of death in any of the ones I’ve looked at. People just ‘disappear’ from the listings or a widow suddenly appears, but I have found other interesting things in directories – http://bit.ly/emYp5f Continued happy hunting!
