Do you have photocopies of obituaries in your files that don’t have any documentation with them? As I’m going thru my Crawford files, I uncovered several obituaries that are likely from Colorado newspapers.

This set of clippings includes two for Clarence Clay Crawford and are likely from a Longmont, Colorado newspaper. Unfortunately, I can’t find a digital copy of the paper and thus can’t determine exactly which paper the clippings are from.
