Hello Heath,

The dates seem to be a little muddled. Is this who you mean:-

Ellen P. McCauley
Born 25 November 1911 and died 10 August 2003
Last Residence:   15771  Rochester Mills, Indiana, Pennsylvania,
SSN was issued in Pennsylvania (1965)

It would be pretty amazing if someone born in 1911 died in 1903.   ;)

In case it helps you in the future, the Social Security Death Index is free on www.familysearch.org and www.rootsweb.com.  Personally, I think the advanced search on rootsweb.com tends to be a bit easier to use, but each have their pros and cons.  One thing to keep in mind about the SSDI is that the last residence is not necessarily the place where the person died.  If she did die in Pennsylvania and you are looking for her death certificate, they aren't available online and would need to be ordered from the state.

If Sandra's discovery is the person you are searching, she seems to be buried in a cemetery in Oakmont, Pennsylvania, which is near Pittsburgh, 60 miles or so west of Rochester Mills. The cemetery is Oakmont-Verona Cemetery.

There is an entry for Ellen and a picture of a family gravestone (with corresponding dates) on Findagrave.com. Her maiden name seems to be Phillips and her husband's name seems to be F. Leonard McCauley (unless the creator of the Findagrave entry made a mistake), who died April 30, 2003.

Go here to view it: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GSln=McCauley&GSfn=ellen&GSbyrel=all&GSdyrel=all&GSst=40&GScntry=4&GSob=n&GRid=39324549&df=all&

I noticed on the SSDI entry that her date of death had a "V" next to it. That means the "report of the death was verified with a family member or someone acting on behalf of a family member."

I checked the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette newspaper for obits for both Ellen McCauley and her husband, but found nothing.

The closest newspapers to Rochester Mills would be the Indiana Gazette (published in Indiana, Pennsylvania, twenty miles fro Rochester Mills and the county seat of Indiana County). Back issues of the Indiana Gazette are on newspaperarchive.com, if anyone has access to it.

The other paper is the Punxsutawney Spirit in the town of Punxsutawney, about eight miles north of Rochester Mills.

Julia Warner
Born 5 April 1904 and died 4 November 1997
Last Residence:   32906  Palm Bay, Brevard, Florida,
SSN was issued in Pennsylvania (1951)

Looks like the last residence was Brevard. Florida - the public library in Brevard have a contact us/ask the librarian link, perhaps that might be worth a try.

In case you want to search for Julia in Pennsylvania: Trevose is a close suburb of Philadelphia, three hundred miles across Pennsylvania from Rochester Mills.

Can you post anything additional about Ellen? If you don't mind my asking, what is it you're looking for?
