Could someone please tell me if obituaries were automatically put in the paper or was this a service that had to be ordered and paid for? I can't find an obit for my grandfather, William Wright Mahan, in San Francisco, which is where he and his family lived. However, he died in San Jose, April 16, 1919. Might there be an obituary there? Help!!
