Deloss M. Conner (1855-1926) - seeking obit

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.

Grand Island Library
www.gi.lib.ne.us
211 N Washington St
Grand Island, NE 68801
(308) 385-5333

Central City Public Library
library.cc-ne.net
1604 15th Ave
Central City, NE 68826
(308) 946-2512

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

Merrick County Historical Society

It's been several years so don't know if the below is still good but you might want to try............

Another good source to check is:

Stuhr Museum
3133 West Highway 34
Grand Island, Nebraska

I visited with their historian several years ago and they have many vertical files containing obits and other items of interest to family historians.

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.

Thank you again for all of your help! I really appreciate your generosity.
