Thanks, John, I'll try that. Eleanor -----Original Message----- From: John O'Brien [mailto:JohnOBrien@kc.rr.com] Sent: Monday, May 05, 2003 8:09 PM To: KansasCity-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [KansasCity] EVANS Eleanor, I checked three Kansas City newspapers ("Times", "Star", and "Journal") and could not find an obit for EVANS. Since he died in Clay County, I also checked the "Liberty Tribune" (a Clay County paper) but could not find him there either. I haven't been able to find out what newspapers obituaries for people who lived in Clay County were printed. I know some where in the "Liberty Tribune" but I think there were other local papers but they're not on microfilm. I've looked at many obituaries in the Kansas City newspapers and I've never seen an obit for a Clay County person that died in the 1800's or early 1900's. (Today Clay County people are in the KC papers ...... I'm not sure when it started but I'd guess in the 1930's. I'd suggest that you post a request for an obit lookup on the Clay County Missouri Message Board. Maybe someone on the Board will be able to help or give you a suggestion.
