    1. [WVJackson] HARMON OBITUARY
    2. I have just received from a relative a partial copy of an obituary from a newspaper.  I do not know which newspaper and either does she, but I was wondering if anyone may have access to archives from which I may obtain a full copy?  I am sure it would be either Ripley or Gay area newspaper. The copy appears to have been in two columns, the first column which has the bottom portion torn off.  However it reads as follows:                         OBITUARY -  HARMON       Clarissa Jain Cain was born Oct. 11, 1845 in Noble County, Ohio, and departed this life at her home near Gay, W. Va, on Feb. 2, 1931.  Age 85 years, 3 months and 21 days. She was united in marriage Aug. 13, 1864 to Thomas Harmon and to this union was born fourteen children, of whom five died in infancy, and Charles Wesley the oldest son in 1916. The first column continues for 2 more paragraphs before it is torn off.  the second column starts as: ed at the Mt. Olive church in charge of Rev. C G Knapp assisted by Rev. E H Ritchie.  ............. Signed by:  The Harmon Family,                    by J.W. Harmon Could someone be of help in letting me know what newspapers WV had in 1931 as well as the addresses or e-mails as to where I could write to request a full copy of my great great grandmother obituary.   Thanks for any help you can provide.   Pat Robison 6927 Mill Falls Drive Dallas, Texas  75248 patrobison@aol.com
