Additional Comments:
I found these obituaries in some old newspapers under some flooring I tore out 
of an old house.  I am not related nor do I know anything else about this 
person.  I'm just an avid genealogist who thought I would share my found 
treasures with someone else. If you'd like a copy of this obituary you can 
email me and I will send you a copy.
