Thank you, genealogynut, for putting that on the forum.  I got tired last night and was having trouble thinking about people who have passed from this world.  I want to put on as many as I can, so all anyone has to do is join the forum and get what they  need.  Thanks again.

You are welcome.  I will be more than happy to help you out, if you would like.  I have ordered a couple of rolls of microfilm that have the Howard newspapers on them from years gone by and I can pull some obits from my genealogy collection that I have here at home.  I have done research on my husband's family and mine, as both of us grew up over around Howard.  Thought I might mix some old ones in with the more recent ones, unless you have other ideas.

I also thought I would get news stories from yesteryear and other various items of interest from old newspapers and post them in other categories,  among some other fun things.
