Was the amount of insurance reported in an obit or a news story? If a news story then the reporter most likely thought it news worthy --- On Sat, 9/13/08, Bonnie M.

These came from someone's scrapbook and there were two separate articles. They appeared side by side. The part about the insurance was tacked to the end of the first article as I have typed it. It was separated from the news article by a short line in the center of the page. The obituary article appeared with just her name as a caption, "Mrs. C.C. Setser" -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Susan Gillan Sent: Sunday, September 14, 2008 9:21 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [MOMILLER] Musick/Setser - obituary Was the amount of insurance reported in an obit or a news story?
