The Ithaca Journal now has searchable obituaries on their web site starting Dec. 1, 2002 onward. http://www.ithacajournal.com/news/index.html Pick the obituaries link from the left side of the page; the one on the right doesn't seem to work. Although it doesn't say so, the back issues are viewable online for the past two years from today's date. To get to an obituary for a certain date, replace the numbers in the address below with the date you want. The format is YYYYMMDD. http://www.ithacajournal.com/news/stories/20020114/obituaries/index.html Virginia in WNY
