Hi
I have been extracting, for publication, obit data from Anzeiger des Westens
Sonntagsblatt (of St. Louis) 1878-1879, specifically from a microfilm at St.
Louis County Library. That is 100 miles from here, so I have been attempting
to obtain a film by inter-library loan. No other library seems to have a
copy. Several have the daily editions, and some have the Wochensblatt that
has no obits. My point is that, at least here in Missouri, treatment of
these papers appears to be somewhat spotty.
