Hi Yaacov! To bring you up to date....I spoke to Ronnie this week. He said
that he has some info on his father in his safe deposit box, but he wouldn't
be able to get to it for a couple of weeks. I hope he follows through. He did
say that he died in Anderson, Indiana, which is what I suspected. I would
think that the county would send a copy of the death certificate upon
request, and I could do this if necessary. Also, Ronnie said that many years
ago, he and Grandpapa were at the cemetery and Ronnie asked him if the name
Sposeep had been that in the old country. His response was "yes" it was
always that. My personal take on that is that it wasn't unusual for
immigrants to not want to acknowledge or remember painful experiences of the
past. I mailed Ronnie the research you had done and I hope he will be as
excited as Sherry and I are.
