Susan, thanks for the review of Fannin resources. I will be up that way next week. Can you point me to where there might be Bonham newpaper(s) if any covering 1902 that would have obituaries. I did not find any listed in Texas Archives but might have missed it. Thanks, Ed Waggoner, Nacogdoches.

I've gone dumber than a doorstop today! I can't remember. Email the Bonham Library for the years they cover. http://www.cobon.net/library.htm I know they have the newspaper but I can't remember what their library holds. The Sam Rayburn has some back further than that -1879 but no way to copy the film. But they don't have in the 1900's very much. http://www.lib.utexas.edu/dataware/cgi-bin/web_evaluate?dataset=TNC&dbs=TNC&shs_action=&multi=1&query_SU When using newspaper resources you can also check the hunt cou.newspapers online in the newspaper page of the Fannin Co. website. Also Greenville has a complete newspaper collection with a full index! but it is not online . That library is an excellent library for research. Lamar Co. I'm not too sure of the exact years but they have the Backward glances of newspaper info -index online . I have a link to it in the newspaper page. Sherman has newspapers back to 1879 and the first 50 years is indexed but it is not online. I mention all of these because newpapers used to cover a lot more territory than they do now. When you get back to the 1880's and before, deaths etc. are often printed up even over in the Gainesville newpaper and up in the Choctaw nation. ( by the way for any of you doing research here and can't find someone at all, or know that someone went up into Okla. or Indian Territory for a while. There is a little Genealogical Library in Calera Oklahoma, Bryan Co. It is about 6 miles north of the border on Hwy 75. It is the Bryan Co. Heritage Association and an excellent source for info on all of SE Okla. and Indian Records.) You can go to : http://www.lib.utexas.edu/tnp/index.html and put in just Bonham Fannin and find out what is available by microfilm.
