I am seeking 2 obits to take to a funeral -- I'm hoping that these will be of interest to the family and bring some joy and discussion about ancestors. If anyone has access to files/microfilms of the Altoona Mirror, these are on the Altoona Public Library's on-line obituary index for that paper. The funeral is Sat, Jan 16, so if anyone can be of assistance, I would need the obits by Friday. Sorry for the short notice, I decided last evening to pursue this collateral line of for my cousins. Needed obits: Amandus George Hite, Altoona Mirror July 13, 1965 Margaret V. Byrnes Hite, Altoona Mirror June 20, 1972 A scan via email or text via email would be very appreciated!!!!! Both individuals resided in Cresson and were probably buried in the catholic cemetery there. Thanks for any assistance, the family will enjoy the information provided, I'm sure! Ellen
