I`ve never used this database before but it looks like it just gives the date & newspaper where the obit appeared & you can then contact the paper or the library in the city for a copy. I`m sure you`ll figure it out:). The URL for the page is http://obits.rootsweb.com/cgi-bin/obit.cgi?Surname=stowell+walter If this is your Stowell family`s Walter the obit will give you living relatives names. Pat
