Thanks for the info. I think you are on the right track. Marie is my grandmother. Her mother Rosa supposedly gave up the children because she couldn't take care of them. I found a death record for a Katherine Klina having died at 6 months of age that looks like it may fit the time frame.
Thanks again,
Erin

Well, I will add this:
I will be going to another town in the next couple of weeks (about 175 miles round trip), where I can access microfilmed Evansville newspapers. This is assuming I cannot find what I want on NewspaperArchives.com at my local library. Even if I look up very little there, I want to go there since it's my alma mater town.
I will take requests for Evansville obituary lookups, but the *exact* month, year AND DAY of death or burial in Evansville or nearby must be known; this month/year stuff from the SSDI will not cut the mustard. I will take only a small number from each requester, and will probably cut off the grand total requests at 15-20 (see how it goes). For each mm/dd/yyyy request, I will skim the newspapers of that day, the next day, and the day after that (3 days total) until found. If not found on those three days, I will stop (failure for that one) and go on to the next request. If it's a burial date, I'll adjust my strategy accordingly. If this library doesn't have the microfilmed newspapers from the year of request, I will simply let you know (couldn't say now).
This request can also be for something other than an obituary (e.g., a birth announcement, significant court date/action, article telling of accident or death -- what print space was normally devoted to in a genealogical sense), as long as: it's a serious and sincere request -- a positive and complete month/day/year -- you're reasonably positive of the person's name, enough to me to recognize -- and its announcement falls on that day or the next two (see note above on burial dates).
Even if you think there's only an obituary, I'll be sure to skim for a related article. I'm accustomed to doing this, so I'm confident my skimming will be far better than the average person's (i.e., not likely to miss it if it's there).
I can assure you, whatever I come up with will be complete - not truncated (haha)!
Ask away, and let's hope I can withstand the potential clobbering... :) I'll keep whoever posted privately (at least, not on this thread unless it's a general update).
--R.
