I believe the Reading Times was a separate newspaper back in 1945. May be they were not on strike. Reading Library has Times microfilms. Some how it seems unlikely a funeral home would have an obituary when there was no newspaper to print it in. There was of course the Boyertown Times/Democrat whatever. The Hamburg Item. Pottstown Ledger/Mercury. But suspect if he lived and died in Reading and immediate suburbs, and the Times was also on strike, there is no obit. At least most people were reached with a 5 digit phone number. Guy Sue J wrote: > Maybe the paper was on strike but maybe the funeral home might have the obituary that never got printed.

Chris, Can you write to them and give them money for a copy with a post paid envelope addressed to you? Possibly did you try to look on find a grave.com? Possibly someone on the list could go to the cem., take a picture, and get a copy of the record for you. I hope this helps you.

I have been looking for a date of death for my Grandfathers sister. All I know is that her name was Ardell M. Davis who died in 1949 in Berks County. She was buried at Pleasant View Cemetery in Spring Twp. The cemetery will not give me any information over the phone so that I can get a date of burial. All of my Grandfathers siblings are gone and none of the nieces or nephews including my Mom remember. Thank you for any help. Chris Smithson Port Deposit, MD -- Christopher T.

My X great grandfather Ephriam Barlet was born in Berks count and died in Philadelphia. His obituary was in the Reading Eagle. So if he travelled or may have reason to be known elsewhere you may check for the obituary in that town.

Could you possibly get any needed information from their church if you know where they attended, or possibly the funeral home. Nancy

The Reading "area" covers a lot of ground and there are many small weekly newspapers published by these areas. They carry obituaries too. Can you narrow down the "area"? If it was close to a county line there might even be daily papers that would cover the area Mr. Trievel lived in. Betty

I personally think the microfilm collections are the same no matter where you go. Try the Reading Eagle. Although they can look at the actually bound volumes, they may decline to do so and refer you to microfilmed sources or place that have microfilmed copies. But you also might want to find out why there is a laps in the time span. For example, could the paper have been on strike during that time? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Jeffrey L.

You may want to try the Reading Public Library. They have the microfilms of the Reading Eagle. I cannot tell you if their collection also has this gap.

I am reviewing a copy of an article in the Reading Eagle, Mar 14, 1897. This is a story of Thomas Rambo but he mentions these gentlemen............thought I'd check to see if anyone has them in their files and wants some info. Nancy RAmbo [email protected]
