At our library, (the Valparaiso Public Library, part of the Porter County Public Library system, Valparaiso, Indiana), we are working on a project of indexing all the obituaries which have appeared in our local newspaper since it began in the 1800s. We have completed the years from 1967 to 1994 and they are accessible on our web site (pcpls.lib.in.us - then click on Genealogy Department\Obituary Index).Some of the years beyond 1994 have been completed and others are being typed in. They aren't placed on our site until an entire year is finished. We have all of the obituaries so if this one isn't for you but you'd like to know if we have a particular one, please contact me. The newspaper covers Northwest Indiana - primarily Porter and Lake counties but does include other areas as well. While working on 2002 today, I noticed that the woman in one obituary was born in Albion, Maine. I couldn't find Albion on the map so I'm sending it to this list in hopes that one of you will send it on to whatever list it should go to. There's a photograph also so if someone is researching her line, I'd be happy to make a copy of the obituary.
