Can someone please point me in the right direction as to where (library, museum?) I could contact to try to obtain an obituary for a death (John Whitcomb) that died 7/17/1973. I would greatly appreciate it.

I tried the Library of Michigan in Lansing (I'm in Grand Rapids) and that year wasn't available on microfilm. I've tried Manistique (that's where he's buried) and there is nothing. My only hope is someone local............

Appreciate any advice anyone has
