Hi Mary,
The Washington State Library, www.secstate.wa.govlibrary/ask.aspx will look up obituaries in the newspaper microfilm. They will spend 60 minutes at no charge & inform you of what they do or don't find. Successful Searching!

Oops! That web site is www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx .

Thanks so much for the info!! Mary

I will look in the newspaper archives at Colville and see if I can find them for you.

There was no obit for Della May Hooper, d. in Colville on 6 May 1952.
I do have the one for Earl Hooper, if you still need it.

I could use anything you've found. Thanks for looking and thanks for your time. Mary
