OBITS: Ward, (A) - Owensboro Area, Daviess Co

Hi,
    
I would like to post several Ward obituaries to Kentucky Footsteps.
These are almost exclusively deaths of the Owensboro area, and of persons
with the WARD surname.  

I'm beginning with those whose first names begin with A.
Please excuse those few errors which are certain to appear, none of
these being proofread.

Owensboro Messenger & Inquirer.  19 March 1952.
    
"Rites for James Ward and Sister, Set For Thursday--James Ward, 84, of
Hardinsburg, Route 2, a brother of Miss Ann Liza Ward, 92, who lost her
life in a fire which destroyed her home, near Whitesville, early Monday,
died at Our Lady of Mercy Hospital, at 7:05 p.m. Tuesday [18 March 1952],
following a five day illness.
     
"Double funeral services will be held for Mr. Ward and his sister,
Miss Ward at 9 a.m. Thursday in St. Mary's of the Wood Catholic Church, in
Whitesville. Burial will be in the Church cemetery.  Pallbearers will be
Orville, Frank, William, Ira, Dan and Edwin Ward, all nephews.
     
"Surviving are two brothers, John Perry Ward, of Reed, and Dan Ward,
of Owensboro.
     
"Mr. Ward was a native of Whitesville, but had resided in Breckinridge
County the last 15 years, where he was engaged in the real estate business
and farming.
     
"Funeral arrangements are in charge of the Haley-McGinnis Funeral
Home, 519 Locust St."
     
"The death of Miss Ward was held accidental, according to a verdict
returned by Coroner Allen W. Haley Tuesday.  Her home was destroyed by fire
of an undetermined origin early Monday.  A can containing money was found
in the ruins, eliminating the possibility that foul play had figured in
Miss Ward's death."
