Hello all, I realize some of you, like me, subscribe to all three of the above lists. In case there are a few out there who only subscribe to one, I will send to all three. It has only been one year since I started my genealogy 'hobby' (more like an addiction) and have been so fortunate to meet so many new friends and cousins who have so willingly shared information with me. I am now feeling guilty since I have not had nearly as much to share. Hopefully I can help someone this way. I do have access to the weekly Leader-Vindicator newspaper, published in New Bethlehem, Clarion Co. Unfortunately I got smart too late and did not save many of the weekly papers in '97. I will make it a point to save all of the '98 issues, and will periodically post the obituaries so the lists will be much shorter in the future. I will be sending this list in several email's. If you find someone you have been searching for and need the obit, I can either type it and send by email or copy and send by snail mail. Hope this helps someone out there.
