Bev, I was just in Heavener last week. I went in to the Heavener Ledger and ask about getting an obit between 1899-1927. I was told they had some records, but they would not look them up or let me look for them. The woman was not interested in helping me. I was so disappointed to think that there might be information about my ancestor, but I'm not allowed to see it. I traveled over 300 miles to just be turned away. I hope you have better luck. I plan on putting my families annual reunion notice in the Poteau paper from now on. Barb
