You could confirm possibly with an obit. Where did he live in Randolph
County? Winchester Public Library has Winchester Newspapers on microfilm.
Union City Library has Union City Newspapers on microfilm plus I believe
that year has been abstracted for a quick lookyloo. The Ridgeville Library
has the Ridgeville newspaper on microfilm but no way to get copies off of
it, you would need to get a copy from the Indiana State Library along with
any other county newspapers that were microfilmed. Most of the other
newspapers do not have a copy in the county at all. Washington Township
Library (Lynn) has a few clippings of the Lynn newspaper and it's not
organized, at least the last time I was in there. Winchester and Union City
Libraries will do look ups for you. Andrea
