Carolyn,
Glad you got results from the Minn Hist Society. Do you know if there is a
Historical Society in San Fran that does similar low cost searches?
thanks, Carol

Hi Carol- I have to thank you again for leading me to the Minnesota
Historical Society. I received the obits/death notices I requested through
the email service at their site. They mailed me the information and I
received it a couple of days ago! And the fee was $1.00!!! They will get a
nice tip for their very efficient and most appreciated service!

Thanks and good luck on your search, Carolyn
