Tank you very much for your reply. Yes, that is one of the alternatives. I'm wondering if there is a place in Florida that interlibrary loans newspapers to out-of-state libraries. I am in New Hampshire. The fact that Stanley and his wife died within 5 days of each other makes me wonder if they died from a car crash or otherwise. I don't believe he was still a practicing physician because he would have been about 75 years old when he died. I have ordered the pages for the probate wills for both Stanley and Harriet and hope that will bring forth another piece of the puzzle. Thank you.

I have gotten old issues of the Tampa Tribune on interlibrary loan. I think the microfilm actually came from the State Library of Florida which is located in Tallahassee. I filled out an interlibrary loan request at my local library. It has been quite a while since I have done this, but I think it took about 4 weeks for the film to arrive. Suzanne C.
