Ancestry.Com has recently made it a lot simpler to find obituaries on its sister site Newspapers.Com, and concurrently I have become very proficient at doing searches on the latter. It would be easy to flood this blog with obits, but that is not the tone I really want to set here. Nonetheless I had a second cousin request this obituary and the one tomorrow.
Bessie Ann Walker was my grandaunt.
