Hi Nancy, Your local library may be able to order the newspapers you need on microfilm through Inter-Library Loan. This would be the easiest way to obtain the information you're looking for. Call them to see if they provide this service, most larger libraries do. The film is usually on loan for 2 or 3 weeks and there may be a small charge involved. The Courthouse in Talbotton has many old newspapers stored in the vault of the Probate Office. This is another way to locate obits, but the papers aren't in any sort of date order and they are very old and are falling apart. So, if you don't mind the extra time involved in locating the issues you need, getting dirty and aren't allergic to dust mites, this is another option. I would try to obtain the microfilm on loan. I wish I could assist you but I only have the microfilm for the Talbotton New Era from June 1903 through October 1909. Best of luck with your research, Carla Miles -----Original Message----- From: Nancy [mailto:nancys@charter.net] Sent: Monday, October 13, 2003 3:04 PM To: GATALBOT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [GATALBOT] Obit lookup/where to find I want 2 obits with Beverly surname from 1953 in Talbot County. I have death dates as May 16, 1953 and December 21, 1953. Another one I am interested in is a Brown death date of Jan. 6, 1919. Please tell me where I might find these. Is there a library in Talbotton that has the newspapers on microfilm? Or, where do I go to see the newspapers? I would also like to thank the contributors of the obits and marriages that come through on the mailing lists. Thanks for assistance.
