Kale: There is a number of cemeteries in Erie County. Only one major one inside the city limits. Here is a link to help you get started. http://www.buffaloresearch.com/roots.html Some additional links: http://www.tonawanda.ny.us/history/cemeteries.htm http://members.tripod.com/~wnyroots/ As to newspapers, below is the link to the New York State Library State Newspaper Project. I order newspaper microfilms from both Canada (Ontario National Library) and New York to view here in Texas, so your local library could help you obtain them. http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/index.html The major newspapers in Buffalo during that time period were the Courier Express and the Buffalo Evening News. If they lived in one of Buffalo's suburbs the local paper would more likely have a better obituary. Do you have an address for them?
