I am looking for an obituary from 1992 or 1993. This persons name is Eric (sp). He was involved in a shooting.
This happened in Galena KS. Cherokee County.
Thanks in advance.

Try ancestry.com. YOu have to pay to join, but they give a free 14 day trial so as long as you cancel before the 14 days you won't be charged. It is a fascinating and informative site.

I look up obituaries for people in my county. I go to the library and wade through old newspapers on microfilm. After 7 - 10 days worth of microfilm, I get seasick and have to stop. I am not rare. Asking someone to wade through 730 days of microfilm is unreasonable. If you can get an exact death date, you'll have a better chance of finding someone to look it up.

I would try to find the name of the local newspaper that might carry the obit...check out the site and see if they have an archives link, then go from there. If you don't know the name of the local paper, try finding the city's website and see if they have a link for the local newspaper.

Definately narrow down the date if at all possible. Then check with the local library or the local genealogical society. Sometimes they have a database of that information. Good luck.

Contact the Library in Cherokee County, or the Newspaper, ask them to look it up for you. Chances are you will get someone to help you.

You might try the local news papers for the area. Most of them keep copies or micro-films as records and for a small fee will be glad to print you off a copy.
