Could anyone give me some advice on how to go about (rather quickly) finding newspapers from around March 7, 1911, that might have a Woodford County obituary in it? I live in Virginia so I am unfamiliar with the newspapers of the area. I know for a fact that my great great grandparents, Martha Ann "Pattie" Jeter Wyles and Henry Wyles (formerly Hebron Wiles), were married in Woodford county in 1867 and that they lived there all of their lives after that, according to a grandson that I have been fortunate to come into contact with. This grandson had no idea that his grandfather and grandmother were from Virginia, that his grandfather had been a captured Confederate soldier, or that he had changed his name. He also does not remember when his grandmother and grandfather died or where they are buried. They did find the purchase records (by Martha J. Wyles) for a lot (10' x 10') in Springdale cemetery, Oak Ridge Center, dated March 7, 1911, so I am speculating that perhaps her husband might have died around then. Another very distant "relative" that I have met over the internet is making a trip to Illinois from Arkansas, in just a few days, to try to find Henry Wyles grave as he is eager to prove that Henry is his long lost uncle that disappeared in 1865. He has been looking for records of this uncle for 10 years. We are 98% sure they are one and the same but wish to make it 100%. From what I can tell, Springdale is in decrepit shape and in receivership so records, if there were any, are inaccessible. I also know nothing of the possible funeral homes in Woodford co. that may have handled the funeral. I would immensely appreciate any help or advice from any locals, or people more familiar with Woodford County, as I know how frustrating it is to be in a strange area and not to know exactly where to look first for information. It is even more frustrating, as I have found from personal experience, to get back home from such a trip only to find that the information, or gravesite, was within your reach and you just were not looking in quite the right place. And going back is not always an option. Thanking you in advance for your help. Terri Lindsay New Kent County, VA
