Newspaper in Vulcan?

Is there or was there a newspaper in Vulcan? I am interested in local obituaries or death notices from 1918, 1923, 1926, 1935, and 1974. Can someone tell me who to contact, where to look? I tried the Alberta Digitalization Project (Our Future, Our Past website) but it does not have a Vulcan newspaper. Thank you!

Kay Bret,

The Alberta Government Legislature Library at Edmonton have an index of most newspapers of Alberta, and which papers carried news for neighboring towns
E-mail: library@assembly.ab.ca

If you are looking for a death date, I can check the AGS Master Surname Index.

For further research please contact the AGS Research Services Committee of the Edmonton Branch,

Hi Lynn, Do you know for certain that Lynette PARSLOW has passed away?
Searching online white pages directory MyTelus com finds only 13 PARSLOW surnames in Alberta perhaps some family connected?

Vulcan Public Library may be able to assist. Perhaps keep obituary clippings etc - telephone directories -etc

Alberta GenWeb Local History Books:
PARSLOW, Dick; Wheat Country I; Vulcan
PARSLOW, Lynetta; Wheat Country II; Vulcan
There is a Volunteer Jim - who owns or has access to the above books - request a lookup
http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~canab/lookvulc.html

PARSLOW, Bill; Chaps and Chinooks; Foothills
PARSLOW, W.M. & John Hamilton; The Grass Roots of Dorothy; Special Area #2


Perhaps the following would be of assistance
Vulcan Funeral Home
227 Centre St
Vulcan, AB T0L 2B0

Cheers & Good Luck, Stella

I believe that Lynetta (Lynette) Parslow passed away in 1999. I am the current owner of her home.
