I am looking for an an obituary for Ora Charles Vass who died in Callahan Co., TX, on 20 Feb 1965 according to the online Callahan County Death Records, the online Texas Death Records., and the SSDI?

A transcription with the name and date of the newspaper would be okay, but if I could get a scan or photocopy that would be great.

Thanks very much for your assistance!

Thank you very much, Sonia! This is a wonderful obituary for finding his descendants. I wish it had given his wife's first name, too. And especially thanks for the copy which you can mail.
