A bow toward Canton, Ohio

Bloggers are supposed to be up-to-the-minute types; if we're late mentioning something we either hide it or are embarrassed. This time I'm late to the party and I don't care, because I'm so impressed with the Stark County (Ohio) District Library's index to death and obituary items in the Canton Repository, covering the years (deep breath here) 1815-1889, 1900-1955, 1957, 1961, 1963, 1966, 1978, 1979, and 2000-2004 -- so impressed that I don't mind that Karen at Ohio Genealogy told about them last September. Thanks, Karen.

Thank heavens my wife has one known relative with the good sense to die there.
