Sally, I can't help you, but I do wish there was someone in Walker County could help us with some newspaper research. The newspapers are all bound and are in the probate office annex across the street from the courthouse in Jasper, Walker County. I do wish someone in Walker County could find time to help some of us with obituary lookups. The only way I know to view these newspapers is to go to AL. The LDS does not have them on microfilm and neither does Footnote. Were are you nice Walker County folks who would be willing to do some obituary lookups?

Microfilm in the Birmingham library only dates back to the 1940s for the Mountain Eagle and I need an obituary from 1901. Elvira Traywick Feltman was my ggg grandmother; she died 6/24/1901 at the home of her son-in-law (the O'Rears, if I remember correctly), in Haleyville, but the obituary was in the Mountain Eagle on July 3, 1901. She is buried in Files Cemetery. She was the mother of 15 children, including daughters Martha Jane (who married Files), Sarah (who married O'Rear) and Nancy Margaret (who married Burdick). I have a general transcription of the obituary and used to have a copy of the obit (I think) but I have looked for months and cannot find it. The Jasper library is not open on weekends and I was told requests were not handled via phone. I've got a good handle on the Kikers I was looking for, who moved from Walker County to Oklahoma, and now I am looking into the same thing for Manascos. I have seen information alleging that Catherine Elizabeth Kiker's first child, General Lee Kiker, was the child of John Manasco who was a farm hand on the property next to her home (they never married), and that some Walker County Manascos also migrated to OK. Catherine Kiker married and was widowed twice after that. but she stayed in Walker County. So I am looking for the Manasco Cemetery and any information on Walker County Manascos that moved to OK in the early 1900s. Thanks for any help on these two issues. **************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

I don't live in walker but have you talked to the Mountain News? A small paper where I lived has sent their papers off to the UFL and they plublished them online. I have been researching their paper like crazy. Daily Mountain News might have done the same thing.

Did I understand you correctly? What is the name of the newspaper you search? Would you be willing to share the link to the newspaper?
