I am not familiar with the region and the various newspapers available so I am obviously confused. Let me explain what I am looking for. What I need is access to newspaper obituaries where a 02 July 1942 death occurring in Wyncote, Montgomery, Pennsylvania would have been published. Please keep in mind I do not live anywhere near this area and will not be able to visit in person. Previously when I posted a query to this list I was told by a couple people that it may have been published by The Time Chronicle in Norristown PA. That is why I was asking for information on The Times Chronicle. In an attempt to obtain a copy of the obit I have previously written to the Free Library who checked the Philadelphia Inquirer and the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin from 2 July 1942 to 9 July 1942 without any luck. I also wrote to the funeral home (Helweg Funeral Service Jenkintown, PA) but have not received a reply since Feb 2003. Is The Time Herald appropriate for what I need? If so, should I just write to them or to the Historical Society of Montgomery County? Would greatly appreciate any additional suggestions on where to write for local are newspaper obits for Wyncote, PA. Regards, Nancy >Do you mean The Times Herald?
