You can contact the Topeka Genealogical Society for a look-up, if you wish it fairly soon. website: http://www.tgstopeka.org e-mail address: library@tgstopeka.org They ask for a donation but I don't remember how much. If you wish to look for yourself by using the interlibrary loan system from the Kansas State Historical Society, in Topeka, the microfilm rolls you will be interested in are The Topeka Daily Capital, 9/1/1947 to 9/30/1947, Roll T-508 and The Topeka State Journal, 9/1/1947/ to 9/30/1947, Roll T-1658. Website is: www.kshs.org Or if you want me to do it then it is going to be awhile before I can get it done. At least two months and probably closer to 3. I don't live in Topeka, and use the interlibrary loan service with KSHS. Have a good one!! Jim. It is always a good idea to check the archives, if you haven't already for surnames of interest, for the Shawnee County mailist for several years as I have been this for some time.

I have had really good luck with some of the funeral homes in Topeka, that were able to provide me with funeral sheets from about that time. If you can find an obit in the newspaper - it will usually tell you which one was in charge. The funeral sheets were very helpful and very interesting. In addition - If memory serves me correct - you could look at the Historical Society on microfilm. Good luck! Pam
