If someone could do this for me please get in contact with me via my email address. Gwen ----------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Gwen: As far as I know, there isn't anyone in Leon who does lookups. You can contact Rene Fierce who is the Director of the Leon Public Library; 200 West 1st Street; Leon, Iowa 50144; telephone: 641-446-3746; e-mail: leonpl@grm.net They do have some newspaper microfilm there and she might look for your obits. It's worth a try. Regards, Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert I'm assuming you did a thorough search on the Decatur County Website. Stacey has a 'treasure trove' of info. there.

Gwen, they also have the papers at the State Historical Society in Des Moines, if you can't find someone in Decatur County to look, perhaps you could find someone there to help. Gayle in Kansas
