Wonderful info, but it will only be helpful to the few list members who can
actually visit the CCHS. (don't we ALL wish we could do so!) Could you
share with us the names of the mills you recorded, as found in the article,
and their geographic location, years of production, and owners? I had many
family members that were active millers, of many types, and would be very
interested in this info.

Hi - I found Anna Snyder Hess' obit in my miscellaneous HESS newspaper

As you seem to have actual death dates for these folks, have you checked to
see if there are newspaper obituaries of film, at the CCHS? They offer a
research service, and as you have actual death dates, it shouldn't take long
for them to see if there are obits.
