Thought I'd give you a link for local news, including death notices and obits. http://www.msnbc.com/local/KYTV/63829.asp You'll get a list of Southwest Missouri newspapers online; select one and browse. Monett, Bolivar, Marshfield, Joplin, Springfield and others are online. Some have only death notices; others print obits. If that link doesn't work for you go to http://www.netfocus.net Enter Find KY3 TV on the drop down menu under the heading Local News and weather; then click Go There. Click on "news" on the left side panel; then click on local news. At the bottom of the page is a heading "Hometown News." Click there to get to the newspaper index. Judy
