Jean, Can you figure out the name and data of the newspaper in which the obituary was originally published? If so, using that information, check a reference book, "Newspapers On Microfilm," that hopefully lists availability on microfilm of that particular publication. Listings are by state and town. If that issue is on microfilm you can obtain a printout of the original article from that source. Or, if you determine the name and date of the newspaper that contained the obituary, contact the public library nearest the place of publication. They should be able to help you locate that newspaper on microfilm. Good luck, Priscilla
