Listers, I am trying to catch up with posting the obit extracts from the September issues of The Leader-Vindicator. I will be posting Oct, Nov and Dec extracts soon. Please contact me directly (not the List) for a full typed obituary sent by email. Request as many as you can use, but I am now working with over 100 obits, so please have patience with me responding to your requests. It is important that you use the numbers I have assigned to each obit so I can locate your requests quickly in my notebook. Thanks.
