This is an interesting discussion. I believe it was in the 70s that
the Reporter decided to reduce their historical files by getting rid
of old copies. My mother, Maxine Rudolph, heard of this and at that
time obtained copies of all issues that they had. Alas, she didn't
keep the copies, but went through each of them and cut out all
articles or notices that related to our extended family and friends.
She made scrapbooks for myself, my brother and one for each side of
our family, most of the articles coming from the reporters.

A task I am laying on myself, as time permits, to go through her files
and scan all obits that she has. I know there are many that are not
on your list. As I accomplish this (no promises as to time frame) I
will forward the copies to you.
