[The original Redhead papers appear to be condensed transcriptions of actual obituaries. They were then transcribed for the Il-Ia-Mo Searcher, and again for posting here. After the third transcription, it is clear that errors have occurred in the transcriptions. Spelling and punctuation from The Ill-Ia-Mo Searcher are preserved.]
