James, The best resource for obituaries would be local libraries. They have microfilms available and will do a lookup for a nominal fee. At the Lorain county genealogy site there is a list of microfilmed newspapers that each library holds. http://www.centurytel.net/lorgen/newspaper.htm While there, click on the link to Lorain or Elyria library addresses.
