Obituary Lookup

HANSON

I am searching for someone who can look up the obituary of my great great grandfather, Engelbert Hanson, who died 08 Sep 1871 and was buried in Oak Hill Cemetery. His home was located in Waterloo Township. He was also known as Engebret.

Sharyl Ferrall kindly provided me with the following information regarding the newspapers which would be the best ones to search for the obituary:

In 1871 Lansing had more than one paper. One was called the 'Lansing Mirror' although it may have been the 'Lansing Intelligence'(there was a name change).

Another was the 'North Iowa Journal' or the 'Allamakee Democrat', which were
the same paper but under different names, the name changed right about
1870/71.

The 'Waukon Standard' was also being published in 1871, and if the obit is
not in one of the Lansing papers, then the Waukon paper should be looked at.

Thank you in advance for any help you can give.
