Recently, someone mentioned that the Indiana State Library, or some other
library would look up obituaries of people who died in Indiana.
PLEASE! Would whoever it was, repeat the information. I have lost my copy
of the message.
Thanks,
Philip Turner

My ancestor William C. Keen was a founding newspaperman in
Switzerland
County. He founded the INDIANA REGISTER and later the WEEKLY MESSENGER. In
my research, I learned that the Indiana State Library has early copies of
these papers on microfilm that cover even some of the earliest editions. I
would suggest starting there. I asked them to look up his name in the
paper
and they provided me with a list of pages and film numbers.
Good luck,
