Thank you everyone for being patient with me about the obits. I have found a few but I have spent 10 hours at the library.This process takes a while. The newspapers from back then did not put the obits in a certain place. They kind of sprinkled them through the whole paper... I have read a lot in the last couple of visits to the library. I can't get any with a death date of 1860-1864 those reels are missing. I haven't yet looked for the ones in the 1900's. I will do that soon. They archive up to present.
