Can anyone suggest where I can find an obit of someone who died i 1995 I have checked local libraries and the BEacon itself. No one keeps old issues. I am also looking for a big story on a tragic accident of 20 years ago in Salem

You may want to try the Salem County Historical Society in Salem. They are on-line. They do carry info. from newpapers in the 19th & 20th centuries. However, I'm not sure how late in the 20th century they end.

If they don't have what you're looking for, it may be that they can steer you in the right direction, as to who may carry them. Maybe the NJ Archives in Trenton

well not the archives in Trenton because I have good friends there and they already checked but if I kept a record of who asked this I will pursue this thanks.

I to am looking for old salem News papers. I did some checking a few weeks ago and was told to the court house where the archives are and they would have them. I called and was told they did.They were nice on the phone and told me what I needed to do.

What "tragic accident are you speaking of in Salem about 20 years ago? Are you speaking in Salem County or the city of Salem it self? I was born and raised in Pennsville, Salem County and have realatives all over the county. I have had quit a few tragic accidents in my branches. I use to have the paper sent to me but got to expensive on my budget. Perhaps I may have a copy of the accident that you are speaking of.

There was a family of five killed in front of the Inspection Station in Sept. of 1986. They were stopped to turn into the inspection station and someone rear ended them and pushed them head on into oncoming traffic. Mother, Father and three children all killed.
