Willard Heiss with Mary Wright Dennis, Jane Dennis Thomas and Nila Harris Howell work a collection of the The (Winchester) Democrate from 1900-1935.
The museum does have more years of obits, done by others as well, covering other years.
I did find one obit today for LUSK.
From The Democrate (Winchester) dated 7 July 1927.
DEATH OF MINISTER'S SON
Jonathan Doyle Lusk, 17 year old son of the Rev. and Mrs. Charles B. Lusk passed away at 7:30 o'clock Wednesday evening at the home of the parents on East North street. The boy had been an invalid for many years. The family survivors are the parents, a brother Robert, of Aanderson, and a sister, Mrs. Alva Malott, of Lima, Ohio. The funeral service was held in the First Christian church in this city of which the father is the regular pastor at 4 o'clock Friday afternoon. The Rev. Mr. Hammond of Farmland, was in charge. The body was taken to St. John, O., Saturday morning where burial took place in the Clay township cemetery in Auglaize county.
This Church would now be called the Winchester Congregational Christian Church, it's at the corner of East North Street and North East Street. (Directly across the street from the public library). I have a contact there, she may be able point me the way to records of past pastors, and I can get more on this Charles B. Lusk for you.
