Barton, You would not use this template unless you found the obit yourself on GenealogyBank or one of the other sites. That is what this template is designed for. Find A Grave certainly didn't issue this obit.
I personally would not use it. I would contact the person that posted it to see if they can send you a copy of the obit or if they can give you the information you need to be able to get a copy yourself. To be able to cite this properly you will need to be able to see the entire page, not just the article. You need the masthead, date, page number and column. If the person sends you a digital image of the article only I would seriously try to find it in its entirety but you can site this as a clipping. You would use the newspaper template for print/microfilm. Here is an example "Miss Batson Weds Sgt. W.P. Simmons," Hattiesburg American, 22 May 1953, p. (unknown), col. (unknown); original clipping. If someone send you a copy of the original clipping then I would put "digital image of original clipping provided by Jane Doe (Baltimore, Maryland)" There are several different ways to site this if this was the situation. I am only telling you how I would do it. I do have the original clipping in my possession BUT I have access to the Hattiesburg American so I need to find it and cite it with the missing information. This article happened to be at the top of the page so I did have the name of the newspaper. With some clippings you won't which makes it a tad harder :) Hmmmmmm, need to put that on my To-Do List...

I created a Master Source using "Obituary > Newspapers > Online images (issued by unrelated content provider)." On the Source Info tab I filled in the Source List Name and the Title only. On the Detail Information tab I filled in all the fields beginning with Article and down to and including Date Accessed. The output is as follows: "Clint A. ("Chip") Low," The Highlander News (Brownwood, TX), 25 May 2011, p. 37; digital images, Find A Grave (www.findagrave.com : accessed 15 Dec 2015). The problem is that I need to add the Find A Grave memorial # to the record. I had been doing that in the File ID field located at the bottom of the Detail Information page. But I now believe that to be wrong as this field is for some other intended use and, in any event, does not show up in any output that I can find. Does anyone have a suggestion on where to include the memorial # or how they would have handled this source differently?
