Hello all,
Thought I would get back to you with my findings. I signed up to NewspsperArchive.com for a week and plowed through all the 1904 Iowa
newspapers I could find (their search engine is broke right now). Found three articles in the 'Around Iowa' news sections and have posted them online for you to read:http://www.grouth.org/1904/index.html
Its very sad news, and I'm sorry to be sending it since I know these things have a way of spoiling our day. But, I wanted to keep you up to
date, we now know it was Montrose, Lee County, Iowa.Christian Lamle was probably more of a fruit grower than farmer and I suspect he was in some way involved with Montrose's strawberry industry.
They had raised their family in the south eastern parts of Iowa in the 1870s-1880s so my guess is he returned to this area in his old age. He
also read German newspapers, so he might have read ads about opportunities in Montrose. I will certainly be researching things
further in Lee County.However, my next objective is to try and find a published obituary and the final burial place. I know my grandfather, Frank Lamle, traveled to
Iowa for a few days and I know his sister Rosa Viola Snider lived just south of Brighton, Washington Co, Iowa at that time.Mary, could you forward this email to Verda Baird, I don't have her
email address.I called Ottumwa Public Library yesterday and found that they do not have copies of the Ottumwa Courier for these dates. So it looks like
microfilm is the only option. Plus, I am not sure that the Courier's LEMIE obit is going to be my great-grandparents. If their children
provided an obit I'm pretty sure they would have used LAMLE spelling.Anyway, enough for now, I need to take a break from all this...
Thank you all for your wonderful help - Iowa genealogists are always a delight to work with.
