Mrs. Ida Shaffer Patton died on 5 July 1936 in New Castle, Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.

Her place of birth was listed on her death certificate as Didmot Knowtown, Pennsylvania. But I can not find the county.

See:Mrs Ida Shaffer Patton in the Pennsylvania, U.S., Death Certificates, 1906-1968

Hopefully you do not spend too much time on this, I did figure it out.

The certificate says the informant "Did Not Know Town" in PA where she was born.  It's not the actual name of the town.

Thank you.

Did you find the township?

It is Sum Township.
