I need ones from 1961. State doesn't have, and county says they have no
record. Holmes County Advertiser has been misplaced for 1961. I was able to
get a transcribed copy of obituary from Special Collections at University of
West Florida in Pensacola, if that will help. Sims Funeral home was no help.
