I'd like to find out if there was an obituary for Deloss M. Conner, who died in Central City on Oct. 4, 1926. He's buried in the Central City Cemetery. Can someone point me in the right direction...is there a library that has newspaper microfilm from this time period?

Many thanks!

Nel,
Try either the Grand Island Library or the Central City Library. I know that Grand Island has lots of old newspapers in their file and might even have Obits already saved. Not sure about the Central City Library.

Also, the Merrick County Historical Society has helped me in the past.

Hi, There's microfilm. If you haven't got the info yet, or you don't live here, I'll look it up for you. - Bill

Hi, Bill and everyone who responded,

Thank you so much for your assistance. I contacted the Merrick County Historical Society and they were able to help me locate the obituary.
