Hello Nancy and Everyone: I don't know if you received responses to you query of a week ago. Both the Joplin Globe and Springfield News-Leader's obituaries are online, with fully searchable archives back until January 2003 in the case of the Globe, and I believe about that far back also for the News-Leader, which has recently changed it's site and I couldn't find that information. It could be January 2004 for the News-Leader SPRINGFIELD NEWS-LEADER The link for the search mechanism is here: http://cityguide.ozarksgateway.com/fe/index.asp#obits Mrs. Eastin's obituary is here: http://cityguide.ozarksgateway.com/fe/Obituaries/Profile.asp?businessid=63409 JOPLIN GLOBE The link for searching Joplin Globe obituaries is here: http://www.joplinglobe.com/obits/ Now if we could just get the same for the Lawrence County Record, Miller Press/Greenfield Vedette, we'd be in business! Hope this helps.
