You find things like this and just shake your head. What if you only found the first one? What if you only found the second one? I'm glad I found both but still....
Below are the TWO obits of Verda Weber Ott, wife of Fred M. Ott, of Noble County, Indiana. I can't tell you which newspapers, these two obits were found in the newspaper obit collection that the library has on the Ott family.
I must admit it does make me wonder just how much stuff I am missing when I find only one obituary??
You decide...
