Sometimes they used to paste (with flour and water paste) those obits on cardboard so they would "keep" better... I have a couple like that. But sure wish I could find one for one of the Civil War Soldiers in our family who was wounded and taken prisoner by the Confederates at the Battle of Pleasant Hill, LA on April 9, 1864. He died May 9, 1864. Problem is, many of the prisoners were moved to Texas but I can't find any trace of him anywhere, other than look on Ancestry and see the record of his death, and continuing on to check out that entire battle of the Red River etc....He died age 24 and was not married, so had no children... What treasures those must be for your family! Lots of info on them, I'm sure! Take a look at the old Historic Newspapers online, and see if you can find out more about either of them.
