In Response To: Obituary look-up (Cyndy Moen)

Athelstan is in Taylor County. I checked our newspaper index and found the following mention

Martin, Delilah, estate #464. SWD 21 Dec 1888

This is a Bedford paper that we have on microfilm. It probably is just a mention that that her estate is being probated. At that time period, obits were uncommon. If not listed in the newspaper index, the obit isn't available. I could also check the court records to see what info is in the probate records. Is there anything in particular you were hoping to get from the obit?

The cemetery record could be a misread of a worn 1888 for 1883.
