Ron,
I agree with you. The publication would be the source in my opinion. The
purpose of the source is to be able to return to it to check the facts. If
you had an obituary clipped from an unknown newspaper, there would be no way
to trace it to check the facts. The newspaper is the critical piece of
information in the source. The rest is details.

Maybe, but that does not make everything that Mills says accurate. At best
it is a compromise. Personally I think that a source is type of
publication in which the obituary is published. There is often no such
thing as one obituary, there can be any number depending on how well the
person was known - and all different.
Similarly I would not accept a notice of birth as a source but the type of
publication in which the announcement was made.
If my view is "non standard" then so be it. I am not going to change.
