In Response To: SEARCH FOR BESSIE CLARKE (Jeannie Winter)

It appears that you have been posting queries to locate Bessie since at least 2005, so I decided to do a little looking for you and I believe that I located Bessie.

Her birth was recorded in Decatur County, Iowa as:
Clarke, female, white, born Weldon, Iowa on June 27, 1887; parents: V. W. Clarke, age 25 and Dora V. Lewis, age 18;

I further located Bessie Clark dying in Cook County, Illinois on September 5, 1907

Bessie Clark, female, age 20, single, white, American, clerk, death on September 5, 1907 in Cook County, Illinois; Burial on September 6, 1907 in Osceola, Iowa.

I suggest that you locate a copy of the September newspaper for the Osceola Democrat for a possible obituary and contact the cemetery in Osceola for assistance. The cemetery superintendent for Maple Hill Cemetery in Osceola is Mitch Harmsen. The cemetery phone is (641) 342-4312.

Hope this helps a little and you can locate an obituary. There is really a short time between the date of death and the burial - one day.
