Is there any one in Fort Morgan that is willing to look up an Obituary from 2001?

Thanks!

Why not just write a obit request with the needed information in your original posting?
Thanks

Good idea. Rita Evins nee Woodard passed away Oct 4 2001 in Fort Morgan COO. Can anyone do an obituary look up for me?

Thanks,

Erin

Erin,
Do you have a library card? Can you access the public library sites online? If you search through the newspapers online you can obtain Rita's obit in the Ft. Morgan paper. It is dated 8 Oct. 2001.

I am from Wyoming. I don't think I can access the Colorado library system, can I? That would be fantastic.

Talk to your nearest library about accessing newspapers online. You can do it there or usually @ home.
Good Hunting,
Frank

IS there a specific website that you access. I think the databases available at our library are different than yours.

Please bear with me. I am trying to teach you to how to fish instead of cooking the meal for you. Have you been to your library and asked what national newspaper databases they have? I doubt that libraries are all that differant in their data base access.
Go and talk to them.

Thanks for trying to teach me something new. I am always looking for new tricks and resources. Today I was at the library and confirmed that we do not belong to any of the online newspaper websites. We have ancestry and elibrary but these do not contaiin the record I am looking for. We are a small town with a small budget and they just don't pay for many online databases. Can you tell me what the name of the website or database on which you were able to access the obituary? I will see if there is another way I can gain access. Maybe I can get a library card in Colorado to use thier system. I would LOVE to be able to look in more newspapers. THanks again...

Fort Morgan thinks of itself as being a small town despite its population of around 10,000, so we're strapped for on-line research at the local level, too. Don't think many of them here have lived in a REALLY small town!

You’re best bet at the moment is the Fort Morgan Museum Bloedorn Research facility. http://www.ftmorganmus.org/bloedorn.htm. They have a lot of microfilmed materials, a card cross-reference file of obituaries, etc. They will charge you a little bit – I don’t recall the fees, it is all on the web site.

Fort Morgan library doesn’t keep micro film files of our local newspaper or maintain a data base. Museum has all of that. But, for the library go to http://fmpl.polarislibrary.com/Search/default.aspx?ctx=3.103...

Fort Morgan Times newspaper is at http://www.fortmorgantimes.com/ but I didn’t see anything there – it was just a quick look.

Good Luck
