Obit needed - have dates

Would someone please look up 2 obits for me? The dates noted are the dates they were published in the paper.

Valentine Putz - Oshkosh Daily Northwestern - Oct 18, 1977
Onessima Putz - Oshkosh Northwestern - June 25, 1998 -
page B3

I know Valentine was married before to Stella who was still alive in 1930. She had 3, maybe 4 daughters. That is all I know about her.

Onessima was married before to Reuben Boelke and had 3 sons and 1 daughter. I have some info on the boys, but all I know about the daughter is that her name was Joyce (born 1926 and as deceased before 2006). Onessima's maiden name was Touchette.

I would appreciate it if someone could get the obits for me.
If anyone has some of the above mentioned missing info, please contact me. Of course, I am willing to share what I have.

I found Valentine's in the Fond du Lac reporter newspaper. It was on NewspaperArchive, and I found it through access at our local library online. I can save a pdf copy and send to you or transcribe if you want.

Thank you VERY much for the obits. Onessima's is perfect. Valentine's is a little hard to read, but I have been able to read almost all of it. Thanks again.
