Hi All I am searching for obituaries on 2 of my relatives who died in Omeo district. The first Lachlan McLean died 15 November 1888 Omeo Plains and was buried in Omeo cemetery 16 November 1888. The second Janet McLean (maiden name McSween) died 31 August 1897, Hinnomungie buried 3 September 1897, Benambra cemetery. Can anyone advise me of the name of local papers that may have printed an obituary. If yes where I could access them. Thanks Ken
