<DIV><FONT size=2>Have you checked death records in Washington? I live
near Olympia, WA (right now I'm in the sunshine of Yuma, AZ). Will be
going home in April. If you'll remind me with an e-mail, I'll go to the
library in Olympia and see if I can find a death date for Thomas in Washington
state. The on-line death index starts with 1940, but earlier records are
on microfilm.</FONT></DIV>
