I was born in Las Vegas. However, am presently at our summer address and
will not return to our home in Las Vegas until late October of this year.
I believe that the Review Journal usually does a good job with obituaries.
If you haven't checked their on-line web, I would advise you to do so. All
of the funeral homes submit obits to that paper. The Sun is now merely a
part of the Review J and it does not contain obits. I believe that it is
possible that they will print a few lines of info without charging--this, from
my memory regarding a obit for my brother two years ago. I say this only
because I cannot understand why you would not be able to obtain an obit, when
you have such recent dates and names to submit. LV has grown from a town
of 7,000 to over 2,000,000. It has become such a large city very quickly,
with no personal attention to such a matter as finding a loved one's
obituary. Sorry. Hope you are able to find something. The two oldest mortuaries
are Palm Mortuary and Bunker Brothers. Davis is another. After those, I am
lost. Is there nothing on Google as to the names of funeral homes/parlors in
Las Vegas. Have you checked with any of these?

thought I'd send it. First National no longer exists. June Eddins

I have searched
Ancestry.com for an obit without success. I found the
listing Social Security Index but that is information that you already
have
such as birthdate and death date. I also searched the Las Vegas Sun and
the
Las Vegas Review-Journal but have not found an obituary. The last search
I
did was at
findagrave.com but also without success. You might want to try
contacting a researcher at
raogk.com (Random Acts of Genealogical
Kindness).
There is a researcher for Clark County, Nevada who lists obits as one of
her
lookups. Good luck.

Hello,
I am looking for an obituary and burial place for Edgar (Ted) Earl Wood
born
1925 and died at Las Vegas Nevada February 23, 2003. Would anyone happen
to
have access to this information and if so could you please send me a
copy.
Thank you very much for your time and your help with my family research
project.
