Hi, The Mesa County Genealogical Society read all of the newspapers in the area, starting with the very first one, and typed cards for all reported deaths. The file is very extensive but some are missing. Some people "needed" the information and have helped themselves to the cards. :-( The other problem is that not all deaths were written up in the paper. Good Luck.
