Please, can someone who may have a subscription to the newspaper archives do a look up of an obit for me? I am seeking an obit for Margaret E. SELBY, she died 21 Dec 1936, in Hagerstown, Washington Co, MD. Her obit likely appeared in a Hagerstown newspaper. Please can you help me? I am very grateful and appreciative for your time and help. Thank you. Julia

Well, good grief, I decided to search Worldvitalrecords just for Selby 1936 and found it! Hagerstown Morning Herald, 22 Dec 1936 p. 16: Mrs. Margaret E. Selby died on Monday evening at 7 o'clock at her home, 410 West Franklin street, aged 71 years. She is survived by two sons, Charles, Wisconsin, and Lewis Selby, near New Alexander, Pa.; one daughter, Mrs. Anna Mas, Baltimore. The body was removed to the Kraiss Mortuary Chapel from where funeral services will be held on Thursday afternoon at 3 o'clock by the Rev. G.I. Rider; interment in Rose Hill Cemetery. I'd suggest you write Rose Hill and see if there is any additional information about her in their records. Unfortunately, not a very informative obit, but ... for what it's worth. Sam P.S. This just goes to show that one should never rely solely on printed, secondary sources, but always at some point search original records.
