Or you could put the obituary in BOTH the Obituary Event Notes AND in the source detail text. I have been doing that with my census events as I'm not sure which way I will want the reports in the future (got this idea from Geoff). Then I have a different event sentence depending on if I have anything in the Description field. If I do, I don't include Notes in my sentence. If I don't have anything in the Description field, I do include the Notes in my sentence. What I put in the description field is simply "age 16" (whatever age is in the notes). So if I want the notes to print, I just delete the description. This may or may not work for you for Obituaries. Just my thoughts.
