I thought I’d test out the Louisiana Death Index (1850-1875; 1894-1954) available at pilot.familysearch.org.
I entered the surname BUNTYN, pulled up 28 exact and close matches.
The very first entry on the list was for Jenks CAUGHLIN, spouse Almeda BUNTYN.
I have been looking for this Almeda/Almedia BUNTYN and her husband, “Mr. COUGHLIN” for a very long time, always in Texas, never finding them.
Now that I know the husband died in Lousiana in 1928, I can search the census records for this family.
Also in the results was an entry for Wilbur COUGHLIN, age 2, son of Almeda BUNTIN and J.M. COUGHLIN, died in 1915.
