Hi, Bob, Some time ago, I said I would check my Colorado Obituaries for Oberlin connections. I checked 2 of the 4 books last night and found just 2 references: There is a Frank Edmund DOST, born 28 Spr 1939 who died 28 Sep 1990 at age 51. He was born in Oberlin but died in Denver. His vocation was an Interior and architectural designer; burial place was Smithtown, NY. Whether he was an Oberlin H. S. grad, it didn't say but thought I would pass it along. The other Oberlin reference was to Janet SNOW PALMER. She earned two degrees from Oberlin College but was born in Cleveland and died in Denver. She was a psychiatrist; interment was in Brecksville, OH. Spouse was Robert. She was born 17 Oct 1906 and died 9 Oct 1995, age 88. I hope to check the other 2 volumes within a day or two.

I have been looking for obituaries of Oberlin High School classmates and posting them to the O-High Alumni web site at http://www.oberlin-high.org/obits/obits_frame.html. To find obituaries, you need to first find the date of death, and to find that it is helpful to know where a person lived and, for married women, their married name. I have found that, particularly for the earlier OHS classes, many (over 50%) graduates went on to Oberlin College. There is a 1960 "Oberlin College Directory" I found in the HisGen Library in Boston that not only lists all the Graduates for each OC class up to 1960, but also lists the Non-graduates. It has separate sections for Liberal Arts, the Conservatory of Music, the School of Theology, the Preparatory School, the Kindergarten Teachers School, etc. For those listed it usually tells where they are living in 1960, married names and husbands names for women, and the date & place of death for those who are deceased -- a great resource for genealogists. O-High Alumni http://www.oberlin-high.org/ has also become an excellent resource for genealogists interested in Oberlin families. Complete OHS class lists from 1910 to 2001 contain about 7800 names, and we have posted about 315 obituaries from papers around the country and are adding more weekly. Check it out!
