A few years ago, when Karen L. (George) Prowett died in a caving accident, Rick found the notice of it on
the web. He was intrigued because he likes spelunking too and it was interesting to know that other Prowetts shared the same
passions. He also liked finding out she was a President of the Georgia MENSA group. LOL We all know he's smart, but he
likes to rub it in occasionally ;o)
I didn't have much luck placing her, or where she fit into the family until a few days ago. I was surfing
using the Prowett last name as my query, which I do fairly frequently...when you've seen the same websites appear over and
over, you know which ones you've already seen, lol. But I ran across an entry for an index I hadn't seen before at www.denverlibrary.org They had an online index to their local papers and had an obituary on a Prowett I didn't have...oh boy! So I used their online
contact request and got a helpful staff person who assured me that they would send an image of the requested obituary on the
page indexed by return email in a few days. Then I waited...lo and behold it turned out to be the obituary for Karen L. Prowett,
wife to Steven Prowett.
I'd been curious about this family when I did a zabasearch on Prowetts and I got quite a few hits from their
area, but I couldn't put it all together until the Denver Library came through. It's like a huge jigsaw puzzle and you
follow the clues :)
Now my next project is to get the site back up from the restructure and then send out a letter to all those
Prowetts I found in zabasearch to see if they want to add additional information or pictures to the site or be kept up to
date on what we discover. Should be fun times as I get it together.
Take care all, Sondra
