Source: THREE GREAT ladies and wonderful genealogists saved many old obituaries and put them into a binder – they let me use them for the GenWeb page – thanks so much to Fauniel Hershberger; Claudine Yerkes and Betty Dotson (my adopted 2^nd mom – loved that lady) – these were mostly mid 1940s deaths but no dates or newspapers are noted.
