Hi all, Spokane has one of the VERY few online newspapers with an historic obituaries database. It can be searched from http://www.spokane.net/obits/obits.asp and covers an index of obits from 1891 to 1894 as well as surnames starting with the letter "A" from 1891 through 1907. I only wish other large cities were as nice to the family researcher as this! I'll be working on the Washington GenLookups page at http://www.genlookups.com this month. I also host these Washington pages: Washington Obituary Links http://obit.obitlinkspage.com/wa.htm Washington Historical & Genealogical Societies http://hs.obitlinkspage.com/wa.htm Washington CemSEARCH http://www.obitcentral.com/cemsearch/wa-cem.htm Washington GenTALK http://www.geocities.com/gentalk777/wa.htm GenDirectory.com http://www.gendirectory.com Hope these help!

Great piece of work! The young girl that would have grown up to be my aunt was listed although she died in 1897 and her surname, like mine, begins with "B". And there was other family inofrmation I did not have. "Woflifort", however, is the most singular transcription of "WOHLFORT" That I have yet come across! My cousins who collect name variants are going to love this one!! Thanks!
