> Would you happen to know what newspaper had the obituaries printed at that > time? 1900 Corning - Rendville area? I just looked at the Ohio Historical Society online newspaper catalog at http://www.ohiohistory.org/webpac-bin/wgbroker?new+-access+top (might show up as a two-line URL; if you go there, be certain to include the whole thing). They don't have any newspapers for that time period for Corning (and none at all for Rendville). But, they do have the New Lexington Herald and the New Lexington Tribune, which may have covered some events from there. Keep in mind that not all people had obituaries back then, and a lot of obituaries were rather scant in personal data. (Not to say you shouldn't look!) Good luck!
