HOSFORD

Steve Heath Sun May 9 23:37:17 2004
Seeking information regarding the death of my great grandfather, Charles Barrett HOSFORD, on December 18, 1909. At the time of his death he was a widower and a resident of Nashua. According to some sources, including the definitive Hosford Genealogy, he was found robbed and dead in an alley in Chicago while on a trip to sell cattle. However, the online homicide records for the State of Illinois, Cook County and City of Chicago, which include the 1909-1910 time frame, make no mention of him. I was hoping perhaps someone would know of him or perhaps have access to local newspapers for that period. Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
