some of you may not be aware, but many of the Wincester obits (current) appear in the Muncie Star which has a website: http://www.thestarpress.com/ Just click on Obituaries in the left column for that day's obits. They keep them about a week, I think. Was just able to fill some of my dad's cousins' line because of one that appeared this week.It might help you, too! A few are also carried inthe Richmond, In Palladium Item: http://www.pal-item.com/index.html If anyone is aware of a website for th Union city paper, I would like to have that, too. If I knew the name of the paper, maybe I could find it myself, but I'm not sure what it is. Thanks!

Mary Jo, Thank you for the Richmond newspaper link, I have the Muncie newspaper already on the website, but I am going to add this one also. If you find anymore let me know so I can link to them also.

This information was sent to me by somebody that read one of my posts on the Hobbick family line. I was able to find my ggg grandfathers burial place AND I am now in contact with my fourth cousin and he was thrilled to receive a letter from me. He is on the Board of Directors of the Stearns Cemetery, Vermilion County, Illinois where my family is buried. I just wanted to share my success story. As you all know we spend many years doing research and if you find one item a month it is wonderful. I feel I "Hit The Jackpot". What a great ending of 2003 and new beginnings for 2004. In searching this database I did find a lot of people that were buried in Vermilion County that were born in Indiana even though they died in Illinois. It might be worthwhile to take a look. > Check the Pape Mortuary site for their database.  Bob Pape is an avid > genealogist and is paying individuals to read the old copies of the > newspapers to create a database of deaths in Vermilion County.  He is > constantly adding names, so check back often if you don't find a name > you are looking for.    http://www.papemortuary.com Happy New Year and my Thanks to everyone on this GREAT list.
