After reviewing the FaceBook posting I thought I would post it on this blog so that a larger audience can see it, because the tags of this blog get picked up in general search.

Last names found in above death items:

Ruddy, Merkell, Aylett, Ratcliffe, Fell, Raub, Ward, Orme, Taylor, Anthony, Harris
