Jacquie - I was in Akron at the library's temp quarters last July, and it was still in upheaval. However, I sent them a letter (twice) requesting obits for my family and found them to be very helpful. They provided the information by return mail within 4 weeks. They also now have an e-mail address for a research librarian. You might want to try them again as you probably hit them during their worst time.
