Try writing to the Akron-Summit County Public Library at this address: 55 S. Main St. Akron OH 44326 I recently wrote to them requesting some obituaries from the Akron Beacon Journal. They came back in about a week. I gave the name and the date of death, and enclosed a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Copies were 5 cents each, though I sent a little extra just in case. Hope this helps. Good luck. Mike Powers Long Beach CA
