I am looking for an obit for Tavia Brown who died 6 March 1954 in Grays Harbor. She was born about 1880 the daughter of George and Sarah Owens. Any info would be appreciated.

Hi, there are three Random Acts Genealogical Kindness volunteers for Grays Harbor Co. Check out www.raogk.org, read instructions, choose Washington, choose Grays Harbor. Volunteers are Bob, Nancy and Barbara. Successful Searching!

The Washington State Library has a free research service, the ask-a-librarian program, where they will look for information in the archives, in this case the newspaper microfilm for an event, such as an obituary. They will look up to an hour and send you the results. Contact them at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx . Depending on the amount of requests, it could take up to a couple of weeks.
-If interested you can look at the catalog of holdings at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/microfilm.aspx
