My grandmother’ sister died in 1990. She had obituaries in the local papers where she had lived most of her life. Those obituaries mentioned that she had taught school in Illinois and Utah–no further details were provided.

A search of Newspapers.com located a obituary in a newspaper from Burley, Idaho. That obituary provided the name of the Idaho town where my aunt had taught school. The obituary was similar to the one in the Illinois newspapers with a few exceptions. In addition to naming the town in Idaho where she taught school the date and time of her graveside service in Idaho was mentioned along with the fact that she was survived by friends and family (relatives of her late husband) in the Malta, Idaho, area.

Don’t neglect getting another copy of that obituary.
