TANNER
I would be deeply appreciative for in help in locating any information
on my great-great-grandmother, Louise Tanner. It is my understanding
that she died in Fruitland Park, Florida. And my great-grandmother,
Catherine Adonia Tanner. Both may be buried at the same cemetery but
I'm not sure. Louise Tanner was a former slave from a North or South
Carolina, when she moved to Fruitland Park, it must be sometime between
1865 and 1887. Catherine Tanner, my great-grand mother, must have died
sometime around 1908. Any help would be most appreciated.
Thanks.

ELKINS
I am looking for more information on the parents of my husband's
grandmother. Her name was Flora Belle (Miller) Minnix Elkins. She was
born
05/25/1882 in Wise County, VA and died 09/08/1971 in Wildwood, Sumter
County, FL. She is buried at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens in Leesburg
West,
Lake County, FL. She was buried on 09/11/1971. She was married to Elias
Elkins at the time of her death and I believe he may have died the same
year, maybe even the same day, I'm not sure.
I can't seem to find her on the SSDI under any of her names. She is
listed
with her previous husband James Monroe Minnix on a Family Group Record
on
the LDS Family Search site. It lists her mother as Katherine Wells and
her
father as Aaron Miller. That is the only record I have been able to
find on
her. I was hoping to find out how to get a copy of her death
certificate. I
thought you might be able to help there since she is buried in Lake
County,
FL.
Thank you in advance for any assistance you can give me.
