I am looking for a person who lives close to either Elba or Enterprise who might be able to find an obituary from the local newspaper for a death which occurred in 1935. I have spoken with the library and they just don't have the necessary staff to assist and that ends my research without my driving from Central Florida to Enterprise. If I fail to find someone in that area, that is precisely what I will be doing sometime in August of this year. Can't let a 8 hour drive stand in the way of successful research. Please email me privately if you can help. Alvie L.
