Is anyone able to do this lookup for me please? Lorna died on 31 DEC 1994 in King County, Washington, USA. I am hoping that I will be able to find more about her from her obituary.
I know she was the daughter of Edward Cowell & Elizabeth nee Kirkham who emigrated from the UK in 1907. Lorna was born in Kittitas, Washington.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks for all your help Sandra. I think I have found most of this information. I have also seen several directories where Lorna was living with Ben Longo, but was not sure whether they had married. I hoped that an obituary might give me that information.
I would also love to know when Lorna's 2nd husband died. I guess that some of these records may be too recent to be easily available.
Thanks again
