I was looking for the death certificate of Levi (Lee) M Paul. He died on 26 NOV 1925 • Catawissa, Franklin, Missouri. I was surprised to see he wasn’t listed in the MO death certificates on line. His given name is Levi but he goes by Lee.
Is their a way for me to get it or can somebody even check to make sure it is there?
