Did you ask the name of the newspaper that they looked in or if there were others that were for the area at the time? Could be others in the area, right. Some have more than one nowadays! Our locals "up home" have two locals that do the same obituary. Perhaps the PA State archives could tell ya!?

My question is did i write to the wrong place and if so could someone please tell me how i may obtain this obit for my grandfather. Thank you kindly.
