Hi Kelley,
The newspapers in that time period covered all of Franklin county.
I would recommend that you contact the Franklin County public library. Some
number of years ago, a volunteer indexed the surnames of marriage, obituary
notices, and other items of genealogical interest that appeared in the
county newspapers over the years. It is a hand-typed index in a set of
3-ring binders. I have had great success finding items using the index.
The volunteer's name escapes me at the moment (what a wonderful gift he
gave), but I'm sure that if you call the library they might be of help.
They also have microfilm of the newspapers.
The library also has a set of 3-ring binders of cemetery inscriptions from
throughout the county. I was fortunate enough to find an inscription that
pointed me to an additional child in a family I was researching. Without
the transcription, we would have never found the stone due to the damage it
has sustained over the years. Indeed, current readers have overlooked it
multiple times.
Good luck!

I am looking for the place of burial and/or obit for a Joseph Evans
b.1780, d.Jan 2, 1862. I know that he died in Blooming Grove, but I have
yet to find a newspaper for Blooming Grove or Franklin County. I am
trying to help someone else find this person and I am at a loss where he
is. She thought that he was buried in Marshall County in Oak Hill or
Stringer Cemetery, but I have been there and talked to people, with no
luck in finding him. If anyone has any information or can find
information please e-mail me (ank101302(a)yahoo.com).
