Not related....just a lookup
As with most family stories passed down....details are often left out or mixed up abit.
I have viewed Wilbur's death entry & death record online and he died in ST. Louis, Missouri. Below are the details listed. Ordering a copy of his death record may show more clues. And trying to locate the Undertaker records for J.P. Murrells Sons may show the cemetery where he was buried....it states he was "buried/body sent to" a Cemetery in Chicago, ILL.
