I have been concerned as many of you have about the Obituary Boards and the
loss of Obits. Now that the Boards are back up, I see we only have 48
listed.

The Way Back Machine became functional again and I see that we have 3311
obits there. Would anyone be willing to help me harvest all these obits and
get permission from the contributor to take them all and put them on the
Ionia Co. site before we lose them all again? Say, each one of us could do
a couple hundred?????? Volunteers? It would take some intensive time to
copy and paste each one and send a note to the contributor - but we could
save them.

then copy in this site:

I have some errands to take care of today, but, will be online this evening,
if I have any volunteers, so we could coorinate this work and not duplicate
each other.
