I was stuck in St. Louis for some time with a long lost line of mine, so I tried your tip and it worked great. I had a copy of an obituary dated in 1951 in less than 30 days. What made this so helpful was the man died in Phoenix, Arizona but had lived most of his life in St. Louis so thinking they might have been notified back home, I tried it and it worked.
