Question:

How can I find an obituary from 2005, without buying a membership or paying a fee?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Most newspapers have on-line versions. Some leave obits up for 7 days, some for a year, some for longer. The first thing to try is Google [{town} Newspaper]. Add the state/province to the search if the town is "Springfield" or "Lakeside".

Once you find the newspaper, poke around for "Obituaries" or "Archives". If you don't find what you are looking for, the link to my site that my friend Rust Skipper cited has more than you probably wanted to know about obtaining one for free.
