Thank you so much for doing lookups. I have a yellowed copy of my grandfather's obit, but there is no reference as to paper or date. He died in Alton, so I'm assuming it was the Alton Telegraph. He died July 8, 1954. He lived in an old brick house on Fosterburg Rd across the street from the Cloverleaf Golf Club for 21 years.
I'm doing a supplemental for DAR and would like to use this obit for his birth and death dates, but they are rather fussy and want the name and date of the paper also. If you could find it, I would so appreciate a copy. His name was Malcolm Powell. It says he died on Thursday and the funeral is on Saturday, so I'd think you could find it in the July 9th issue.
Thanks so much. I'm happy to pay for copying and postage, unless you could scan and send on an email.
Thanks again,
Linda Garrett
