Dear bluestreak-ga -

I ran a search on RootsWeb for Grayson County 
(http://www.rootsweb.com/~txgrayso/ ) , where Dennison, TX is located
and came up with the following information:

Hayden, Sarah M               (died) 11-Mar-1978     (sex) F 

The actual file is located at
ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/tx/grayson/vitals/deaths/ .

This is the only Hayden who was listed as dying in Grayson county in
1978, so I'm fairly sure it's the woman you're looking for.

I could not find a record on her via the Social Security Death Index,
but I've found that it's not entirely reliable for searching on people
who haven't died in the past 20 years or so..

I hope I've cleared up a piece of the puzzle for you!  Have a great
day.

Search strategy:
dennison texas county
"grayson county" records

Good afternoon, austin_trill,                                         
         It's a pleasure to meet you.  Where have you been hiding?  I
had seen this before but couldn't link it to her.  But I think that it
is her.  I'm going to continue to try to link her death date to the
birth date luciaphile found.  But in the meantime, I think you have
found her, since she IS the only one listed as dying in 1978 in
Grayson county.  Good digging austin_trill!! Teamwork is so important
in this kind of work.  I've got others to peruse if you're in the
mood.  Thanks again so much. Looking forward to working with you.
