Apparently, not everyone put an obit in the paper. I find my grandfather, William Henry Anderson, listed but not his first wife Sarah Ellen Henze or any of her family that resided in Omaha. I have their death certificates and have seen their graves at West Lawn so I know they died there but they are not listed in the index. -- "gc-gateway@rootsweb.com" <gc-gateway@rootsweb.com> wrote: This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I was also interested in actually ordering a copy of the obit. There is a link on the page but it sends you to the index. At some point, I came upon another resource... omahaobits@aol.com However, my email request seemed to go into space. I have tried to contact them again (in case it was just a fluke) to see if I can get a copy of the obit since I am now armed with a date of death. I may peruse some library sites and see if any offer services for copying old obits from microfilm. If any one out there is aware of a source, that would be great. Many thanks!
