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. 14 December 1959. "Mrs. Annie E.
