Dear Lynda, The 1926 Farmerville "Gazette" can be found on microfilm in the Union Parish Library in Farmerville and the Hill Memorial Library on the LSU campus in Baton Rouge. I do not know if it is available in other locations, but I would imagine that some library in New Orleans has it. I do not have access to the 1926/1929 issues myself. If you can't find a New Orleans library with these issues, you could write or email the Hill Memorial Library in Baton Rouge, give them the dates of death, and ask that they check a few issues for an obituary. Don't know if they will respond to this request or not, but it is worth a try. Good luck!
