Yes all of them.  All of my great-grandparents all moved into lived the rest of their lives around Howard, and they raised their family there.  Both sets of my grandparents stayed around Howard and raised their familys there and I was born in Howard but moved to the Eureka / Climax / Severy area, So I'm interested in all of the history, stories and articles that was printed from 1880 to the present.  Thanks for finding and posting all these items.

Jo, that's one way of looking at it. And thank you for your input.  :) :) But from my viewpoint, one of the biggest reasons why I  have been posting all these articles from newspapers on the obituary, good old days, and genealogy boards is to help those who are researching the area for history and genealogy.  :angel: :angel:   Since Elk County has no genealogy society and no one that does research for hire,  :(  those that live outside the area have a rough time of trying to get the information they are looking for.  I'm trying to make a difference.  But I am so happy that most everyone enjoys reading the postings, too!!  I know that I enjoy stepping back into yesteryear  8) and some of the things I read about, I had forgotten. 

Thanks to all, for your response, and may you continue reading the forum and participate often. :)  Enjoy!

I vote for all three.  I've been trying to find an obit for my great grandfather in Elk County.
I think what you are doing will be a great help to all. :angel:

Would you care to give your grandfather's name, and death date, if you have it?  Also do you know which part of the county he lived in or time period? Or cemetery?  Any clues that you have would help to locate the obit you are looking for.  Thanks for your opinion. :)

I agree with everyone else, A, B and C.  You have been such a great heip to me by finding and posting obits on my family and I really enjoy learning about the area where my greatgrandparents moved to and my grandparents met and married.

I enjoy the pictures and stories, hopefully I will be able to come to Elk County and see it for myself someday.  In the meantime I will continue to read the Forum daily.
