After
performing multiple searches for a death certificate for Thursa Ann with no
results, I then began searching cemetery records and obituaries. I finally
placed a request for a death record lookup for DeKalb, Missouri through
USGenWeb. I received the following transcription of an obituary for Thursa Ann
Cornett Rhudy:
“Rhudy, Mrs Thursey A(nee
Cornett) died 12 Jun 1909. She was born in Grason County, VA, 25 Sep
1838. She grew to womanhood in VA. She married Floyd Rhudy 22 May
1862. To this union were born –

Kansas; Winton Rhudy of Elk Creek, Virginia; Thomas Rhudy of Fargo, Oklahoma; Mrs
Sina Asberry & Fillow Rhudy & Callie Perkins of King City, Missouri; &
Leander, who died in infancy.
