Does anyone have access to the May 26th 1958 edition of the Weirton Daily Times? I am looking for an obituary for Martha Alice King.

According to the online obit index from the Mary H. Weir library the obit appeared in that newspaper. I have the ones from May 26 and 27. All they say is that she died and when the funeral was to be.

any help would be greatly appreciated,

Kathy
