How to find a obituary from 1930s ?

Legg inn av Gjest » 19 sep 2006 18:32:46

I am trying to find a newspaper write-up or a obituary for my Great
Grandmother who was murdered in the city of Fall River in the nineteen
thirties. Are there any online libraries or obituaries from this
location and era ?
Her name was Mary McClelland, she lived on Pleasent street in Fall
River Ma. She died from stab wounds from men who entered her apartment.
Thank you.

There is a person that does lookups for Fall River area at the site

Go to Frequently Asked Questions and follow the instructions.

Good luck,

Yes, it is an interesting site. I have been a volunteer there for 2
years or so. Mostly I do National Archive lookups and grave stone
photography in the Seattle area. (^: Then I email the info to the
person who requested it. Feels good to help people searching their
family tree.

One thing I did discover when I was at the cemetery... If you can find
out who the purchaser or owner of the grave marking, it sometimes leads
to new relatives found as some people buy grave markers for relatives
after they have died or as a gift if the person is not wealthy enough to
own their own.
