Hi Richard;
If you have time could you please see if there might be an obituary for my
Gr-grandfather, Peter D. Miller. He was born on 7 Jan 1846 in Ohio. Married
to Sarah Brown on 7 Jun 1874 in Adams Co. & died 1 Dec 1886 in Linn Grove,
Adams Co., In.
Thanks for your consideration on this obituary. I would appreciate very
much, any help on this.

Subject: [INADAMS] LAST CALL For Obit Lookup in Ft. Wayne :-)
Hi everyone!
I'm posting this message to both lists. :-)
I'm going to be in Ft. Wayne all day next week so if you're in need of an
obit lookup, please let me know. I've already had some people on the
Rootsweb list that have responded so those are in my file for the trip.
I'm planning on photocopying obits from the Ft. Wayne newspapers to add to
the Newspaper Tidbits Project as well as doing personal research.
Thanks!

[Just a brief explaination of why I type "Newspaper Tdibits" at the top of all of these messages. This is a part of the overall project I've been working on since June of 2004, and its grown into the "Newspaper Tidbits Project". The main focus of the project is collecting obituaries from online editions of newspapers primarily in Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, and Southeastern Pennsylvania. I also collect obits from the Chicago Tribune and some South Carolina newspapers including some from other parts of the country. Another area of focus for the Project is transcribing old newspapers from St. Joseph Co., IN. The obit collection only goes back to 2006.---Rick B]
