WHITLOW -
I am trying to find the Joseph Wallace Whitlow family in the Mercer County 1920 Census. In
1900 and 1910 Censuses, they were living and are listed in the East River District. Again in
1930, they are listed in the East River Magisterial District. However, I cannot find them in
1920. I have searched the on-line indexes with no success. Does anyone have any information on
what happened to this family in 1920?

HOLAK -
I am the grandson of Frank and Nellie Holak. Supposedly, they are buried at the
Woodlawn Cemetery. They both passed away in the year of 1949. I am trying to find out
where the cemetary is located. I had noticed on their death certificates that, that is where they
are laid to rest. If anyone could help me, it would be appreciated.
