The Quincy Herald Whig (Adams County) newspaper now charges for obituaries. Will our great-grandchildren run into the same problems that we now run into when we try to find an obituary of our ancestors. I know they put very little info in some early obituaries I have found in late1800's. They might say " Jane Doe of this community passed away last week". I realize they are in business to make money, but don't they get enough advertisement to at least cover obituaries. Our local, small town, once a week paper doesn't even charge for these. I'm wondering what we could do to encourage them to keep printing free obits since some families won't pay this fee to have Aunt Nellie put in the paper. What if she was the last of her family? Any suggestions? Letter to the editor perhaps? Janet
