You can get to a website to download the form and fill it out and mail it with payment to them. If you have a credit card, I believe you can do it all online. For the obituary, go to the Hutchinson Public Library site: http://www.hplsck.org/200.htm On the home page, click on the green ask a question ? logo. Enter the information requested. I tell them, I want the obituary for family research. The library will copy it from the microfilm there and mail it to you within a week I believe. They don't charge for this service. Carl Sprouse
