Luckily, most of the major library catalogs are online. Good luck!

About a year or so ago, I subscribed for the 700 downloads option from the Dallas Morning News (mostly on Henry Lewis) and I actually have transcriptions of those articles in my genealogy program, but I forgot that I had additional obituaries when I wrote this article! The article I quoted was among the materials passed to me by Mr. Hornady and did not have any source information, but since it did not turn up among my downloads from the Dallas Morning News, I suspect that it was from the Dallas Times-Herald. Speaking of which, do you know where the archives for the Dallas Times-Herald are kept? I believe Henry was a friend of Edwin Kiest, so there may be even more articles there!<br /><br />Thank you so much for visiting my blog!Greta Koehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05429623811794360612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5324800784948486726.post-87392639054115202562009-09-14T17:49:55.917-07:002009-09-14T17:49:55.917-07:00Dear Greta -

A days pass that entitles one to 50 downloads is available for $9.95 and there are other rates. <br /><br />I found the headline, "Mrs. W. H. Lewis Funeral Service Scheduled Monday at 4 P.M." on Sep 24, 1945. The previous day, I got a hit back for Lewis and the title was, "City Resident for 52 years Dies at Home" --- not sure if this is her.<br /><br />Regardless, this is a great resource for researchers. I enjoy your blog! Jeanne JohnsonJJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16314136228489634456noreply@blogger.com
