Walt,
The Ohio Co Museum has file cabinets where they collect newspaper clippings and donated
information about Rising Sun and Ohio Co historical residents. You could see if they have
something "indexed" in there by name, occupation, business name, church, etc.
I found ancestors listed in the "deaths list" they keep there (not the
cemeteries book), found the death date, and then looked through their (small) collection
of newspapers around the death date (circa early 1870s) looking for a death notice. Did
not find mine, but did see other articles about townspeople who died and estate notices of
other people who died about the same time. So I "indexed by date", if you will.

Thanks, We have visited the area 2 - 3 times but have some additional names
I would like Obituaries for. The Cemetery Book of Mr. Dorrell, who I have
met and gave a contribution to, has a terrible error ratio. About 13 - 14
errors in 20 - 22 entries for our family in Mt. Carmel Cemetery as I recall.
He did do a marvelous job maintaining the Conner Cemetery just down the
road. My 3rd GGrandparents.
