1 1/2 miles NE of Coal City would be in the western part of Owen Co.

Hello,
My gggrandfather died in Owen Co. in 1914. I found his obituary at the
Wabash Valley Obituary Index. The newspaper it has listed is the Tribune
(Terre Haute). His obituary has Coal City at the beginning of the obituary.
The obituary states that he"...was found dead in a chair at his home, one
and one-half miles northeast of here..." So, I am guessing that the Tribune
used the same obituary that the Coal City newspaper did? Does this make
sense since the Tribune office or where ever the obituary would be written
in Vigo, is not 11/2 miles anywhere close to Owen Co.? If so, would anybody
know of a newspaper in Owen Co. that would have written a different
obituary on my gggrandfather in 1914?
Thank you for any help,
Carla
