These are typed from photographed copies of many obituaries and death notices that I have in my collection. For many of them there is no indication of what newspaper they came from nor is a year indicated for some of them. Photo copies are sometimes hard to read or are damaged. Also, some of the obits and death notices may not be complete. I will be spending time searching out the complete documents and their location, as well as continuing to search for more obituaries and death notices. I always strive for correctness.
