YOu could also ask if they could find a newspaper article about your uncle's death. See item #13 to email your request. http://www.slpl.lib.mo.us/libsrc/geneinfo.htm You could also ask the staff to look for them in the city directories-not every year but every 3 or 5 years. The directories go up to 1980 according to their website. Send the request for city directory look ups separate from the obits/news article request. The library charges a small fee to cover the cost of copying and postage. They will bill you when they send the copies.
