Is your ancestor’s obituary or writeup hiding in an ethnic (often in a foreign language), religious, trade, or other “non-typical” newspaper? Obituaries for immigrant ancestors may be more detailed in a local foreign language newspaper, and a notice in a religious or trade periodical may provide information not given in the local newspaper. Local libraries, historical or genealogical societies may be able to provide information about newspapers of this type.
