It is worth noting that many of these newspapers are Pioneer Press published papers. You can access their newspapers free at: www.pioneerlocal.com and if you know the community you are searching in, you select the newspaper from a drop down menu. Once you get to that newspaper, you can do searches on keywords, or specifically search just the obituaries, etc. I noticed that for the Oak Leaves it goes back to 1996, it seems to vary, depending on the newspaper.
