Looking for the date of
death of Mrs. Irene Stuart LIMERICK. At the Old Courthouse Museum in Vicksburg
I found a clipping of her obituary which said she died in Natchez, where
she had lived for several years. The clipping had a dateline of April 25
but no year or name of the newspaper. In the 1910 census she was living
with a daughter in Fayette. My mother said her grandmother visited
them after her youngest brother was born in Sept., 1918. I assume
that Irene had moved to Natchez to live with her son John A. Limerick,
who was married to Jane Conner.Can anyone help me? Thanks.
