Did you go to the library and look thru the microfilm of the Shelbyville Papers? Also you can go to the Times Gazette and go up in the attic and look thru the actual old papers. -----Original Message----- From: Kathryn Hopkins [mailto:kathopkins@yahoo.com] Sent: Tuesday, May 21, 2002 08:58 To: TNBEDFOR-L@rootsweb.com Subject: [TNBEDFOR] Jesse Coleman Obit Hi Barb, I went to the library this weekend and found the obituary you requested: Shelbyville Gazette, Thursday, February 26th, 1891 ================================================== Jessee Coleman Dead This well known and prominent citizen of the 23rd district died, Monday last, and was buried Tuesday. Mr. Coleman was widely known throughout the county as a man of means, all of which he had accumulated by industry and economy. He was a worthy citizen and the Gazette tenders its sympathies to the bereaved family, relatives and friends. Please email me personally <kathopkins@yahoo.com> and I will mail the photocopies to you. Best regards, Kathryn <snip> The following was in the "Bedford Co TN Wills and Vital records from Newspapers" by Marsh and Marsh on p. 175: "Jesse Coleman of 23rd Dist, died last Monday." This was in the Shelbyville Gazrtte, Feb 26,1891. I sent to the TN State Lib. for a copy of the full Obit., and they replied "not found, this is a weekly newspaper." It seems this Obit. must exist if the Marshes found it . Can someone on the list please tell me how I can get a copy of the full Obit for Jesse Coleman. Thank you. Any help would be most appreciated.
