But be careful of what you are looking for, how old it may be, and from where you think it might have come. Check those web pages closely and you'll see that the cities covered are only the larger metropolitan areas. If your relative in the obituary were a farmer from a rural area and the newspaper clipping came from one of those "county-wide farm papers" then this service probably won't cover it. Plus you have to look at their advertisements very closely. Seems the obituaries only go back to around 1970. Not very useful. They do have a lot more "historical news" that is archived; its just that the obituary service covers mostly the 2000s and a few back into the 1970s-1980s.
