Don't know if this will help or not. But I found my great grandpapa in a book 1832-1932, obits in Columbus , Georgia. It gave me a date, I went and asked for the 1870 Columbus Enquire paper and his obit was listed. The article was picked up from the Mobile Register. He was State Rep. Joseph R. Waldrop 1868-1870. He was ambushed shot and killed.I had been looking for his obit for several and one night I found it in the Genealogy Room. He was killed August 13, 1870. Hope this helps and what you are looking for. Sandra
