Montclair had (maybe has?) a weekly or semi-weekly paper called the Montclair Times. It might be the closest you'll get. As far as I can tell the Montclair Public Library may be the only library with a full run of the paper. I've never used it so I don't know if it had any obituaries or not. I would have expected to find a Montclair or Upper Montclair obituary or death notice in either the Newark Evening News or in the Newark Star Ledger. Joan M.

What is the name of the person. If the person was prominent in society, the obituary may appear in the New York Times Newspaper. If you provide the name, I would be happy to check. One never knows, and it's worth a try! Beverly G. Kirby-McDonough ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joan M.
