[or-roots] 1898 obit possibliity

[CKlooster at aol.com]

I think this is a pretty good overview of the obituary situation.  The  one 
factor that may have made it more likely that a lengthy obituary would have  
been published in the 1800's or at the turn of the Century was the number of  
deaths in an area...fewer people; fewer deaths.  But this still makes  smaller 
local papers a better bet than a larger metropolitan publication.
