Sally, Brandon's major newspaper is the Tampa Tribune. Tampa Tribune site for obits is: http://tampatrib.com/ and the Tribune archive site is: http://archive.tampatrib.com/ The trib charges a fee for archive articles. Also you can get older Tampa obits from this site: http://www.thpl.org/thpl/eresources/thor/thor_internet.html Click on: telnet thor.thpl.org Login name: thor (all lower case!). From there you want to go to TRAILS (number 8). Good luck, hope this helps.
