I accidentally stumbled across a 1999 obituary in the Middletown Times Herald Record and from there have been able to maneuver through the rest of the year. For Jan 1 through Jan 7, use this url structure (be sure to modify date): http://www.th-record.com/obits/1999/01/01.htm Jan 8 through Dec 31: http://www.recordonline.com/obits/1999/01/08.html If the url doesn't work with the html parameter, try changing it to htm. Their directory structure frequently varies, sometimes from one day to the next. I'd be happy to do an online lookup for you if you run into problems trying to locate the obituary you are looking for. I haven't been able to find THR obituaries earlier than Jan 1, 1999. There is an online index at Thrall Library you can check, which covers a few years in the early to mid-1980's, searchable by name: http://thrall.org/obitdb/search.htm Good luck with your searching.
