Wanted: 1962 Obituary of Clarence Estes, Columbia, KY

Wants obituary from newspaper in business in Columbia, KY, in 1962:Donna Brokamp wrote:
Good day to you!

Wondering if your paper was in business in Columbia, Kentucky in 1962? If so is there a charge for me to acquire an obituary notice from your archives? I believe it was on August 8, 1962, that my grandfather Clarence Estes died. Survived by his wife, Mary Estes. Their residence was in Columbia, Ky. Do you know the names of other Columbia, Ky newspapers, doing business in 1962, that are still in business today?

Thank you for any information you may have for me.

Sincerely,
s/Donna Estes Brokamp
Sevierville, Tennessee
Detailed answer follows:


Donna,

Microfiche versions of the papers are likely available at UK's library.

This link tells about their holdings:

http://lib.uky.edu/repro/

Click the "search database" link on that page to get a search form,and then select "Adair" from the counties list. (There is a reel for 1962.)

The microfilm can be viewed in the Periodicals Department in WilliamT. Young Library or they can be borrowed through your Interlibrary Loandepartment if your local library has a microfilm reader.

If you want to go to UK to see them, here's a link to the Periodicalsdepartment for hours and other information:

I'm pretty sure you can print out any pages of interest, probably forsome small fee per page.

Best,
Pen Waggener
