It appears the obituary was run in the Huntington Herald-Press on December 8, 11, 12, 13 and 14. They seem to be identical with each having a length of 147 words.

The database I use (America’s Newspapers) doesn’t have any papers from the area around Sparta. Sorry I wasn’t able to locate one for Azer. I hope this helps. Best wishes in your search! :-)
