Tim Thank you EVER so much for this! I printed out Uncle Jarvis' obituary, and then I found Herbert CHITWOOD's - plus his brother, Woodrow's. Previously, I had printed out several other family members' obituaries from your site. Thank you so very much for putting the mountains of material online that you have!
