Jerry, What a great idea!! Thanks for all that you do for us fellow researchers. I would be interested in receiving any obits from Grundy, Mercer and Sullivan Counties. I have lots of family still living in the area, but don't always let me know everything!! I am extremely interested in the obit on Corky Neff. Mainly his wife and her family. Thanks so much!!
