IMPORTANT information that I would >not have found if I hadn't seen that second obituary from the same >newspaper. I have many obituaries for ancestors, but I usually stopped >looking once I found one! I sometimes checked different newspapers for an >additional obit, but it never occurred to me to check the same paper on >consecutive days for a different version of the same obit.
