I've found the Riverside Library to be very helpful Here is what their site said about obtaining obits: "If you need information such as an obituary from a local Riverside newspaper, you may send your reference request in writing along with a self-addressed stamped envelope to: Riverside Public Library 3581 Mission Inn Avenue Riverside, CA 92506 ATTN: Reference Please allow 4-6 weeks for a response. Although our mail-in reference service is free, we always welcome a donation to our Friends of the Library to support library services." ----- Original Message ----- From: "Eugene M.
