Pat, The obit says March 18, 1916 one day off isn't bad. I believe that I have Josiah Mc Call's obit also. I had it but not sure where I put it . When I go looking for obits I sometimes see names that people have been talking about... so I make a copy. When I am done with them I turn them over to Alice, who is in charge of our obituary file. I will have to go back into the pile of microfilm papers and see if I can find him.... But I do believe that the obit about Mrs. McCall death in a fire is you Anne Elizabeth Northup McCall. If either of you would like the obit , I scanned it just like it was in the paper. I can send it to you. Just send me a note at trayne1837inc@yahoo.com and I will attach it to my reply. Or anyone interested in this obit. I am trying to compile a file of 1) Civil War Veterans 2) rivermen... these are the two things that I am primarily into... civil war/DUV and Sons &Daughters of Pioneer Rivermen. When the collection gets to be of size I will share with you what I have.
