It appears that the Frederick News-Post has suspended the link to view the previous obituaries and has contracted with Legacy to provide obituaries of which they started I believe in June of last year. That means they only go back to June 2012 now. Unfortunately, things have drastically changed ever since Mr Delaplaine died. In order to access obituaries previous to June 2012, it seems one will now have to pay for access to one of the commercial newspaper services. The other option would be to contact the Frederick County Library - Maryland Room for a copy of obituaries in the Holdcraft-Linton collection from 1932 and up. I had hoped that these would have been scanned when they were being indexed which would have made them available online and would no longer be necessary to continue with the photocopies which will probably lighten them in time. Scanning would also keep any photos as they appeared, instead of getting darker in a bad photocopy. But they are available upon request. You can access this page from the link below, under News/Obits, Obituaries. (That link was changed also, but I have also corrected that one as well. Please let me know if you find anymore broken links that I haven't caught.) - Dorinda =================== www.MidMdRoots.com
