Thanks!
The person who owns Browning Funeral Home, Charles Browning, had been keeping an index
card database of info from obituries that appeared in the Evansville newspapers.
His database covers the period from the present back to the early 1900's. It is online
now
http://browning.evcpl.lib.in.us/
All the names appeared except for Sam Fort. Sam's brother, Edward is in the database,
so the correct spelling was Fort.
There was a copy of the actual obit for Edward, d. 1942 and it included the Negro Deaths
heading.
Well at least he wasn't completely leaving Afro-Americans out of his work.
Thanks!
