Obituaries for Eminence Township and the town of Atlanta were published in the Atlanta Argus, often with great detail. The only means I've found for generally accessing these is to go to the library in Lincoln or the Atlanta library. I've been fortunate in having a grandmother (Parrie Hieronymus Houghton) who clipped obituaries and pasted them in big scrapbooks. It's been surprising how often Grandma's scrapbook has just what I'm looking for. Of course they have to be typescripted to use in current documents, but it's been fun to find them.
