Great site! I was trying to look at the obituary that you had posted, but when I click on the thumbnail of the second page it doesn't open as a bigger file (and enlarging just distorts the image). Are you able to post a larger image file or a link to a larger image file! (The first is cut off just as the obituary is about to tell the inscription!)
I've reposted the two scans and they both work - note that the inscription referred to on the last line of the first scan is just the two lines at the top of the second scan. If still a problem let me know your email address and I can send you the scans. I moderate all comments before they appear so this would not be published Glad you like the site - I add to it as more research is done
