A thought regarding the nonpublication of some obits in the Gadsden times. Both my grandmother and one of my uncles died in 1917. Neither deaths were in the oblituaries, but by doing a thorough page by page read of the Gadsden times starting the day after their deaths and continuing through a couple days later, I found both deaths as small four line articles buried on one of the pages of the paper and the Gadsden Evening Journal. So if you checked just the obits, you might have missed the death elsewhere in the paper. Good Hunting. Carolyn Condray-Merritt
