As you know I live in Springfield, Ohio and have known the Upshaw family here for many years. Let me know if I can be of assistance as you research the Springfield family.

FYI, the Ohio Death Certificate database (1908-1953) has over 50 DC's for the UPSHAW surname. Some of the early family left Springfield for the bigger cities of Cincinnati & Cleveland and I recall their families coming back to Springfield for Upshaw Family Reunions.

Best Wishes,
Art Thomas

These DC's are viewable & printable.......for free
