*"The Tidewater News" was stored in the attic of the TN building for years 
before the LVA copied them.  There is a line running through the print at 
the top and middle of many of the papers and it effected many of the obits. 
I've put elipses for the part that's missing. If it's obvious what's said, 
I've tried to fill it in. (bs)
