Yes, the library in town has microfilms of most of the old newspapers - some of the earlier years are missing but on the whole its pretty complete - certainly should have the years you're interested in. I suggest you contact the Shelby Co. web page manager and ask if she knows of anyone there who can do lookups for you. You have the date of Wm's death so the obit, if there is one, shouldn't be too hard to locate. That should also give some good info on survivors, etc. Good luck George ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Talbot" <talbot@olsusa.com> To: <KYSHELBY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, April 08, 2000 8:11 AM Subject: Re: [KYSHELBY] BACON-BIRD > George, > Is there a Shelby County Library that keeps newspaper obituaries on file?
