Gray Mortuary (local advertiser)

the above seems to be the main funeral home in Pelzer, thus if you start by contacting them and they can't help you, ask if they can refer you to another business in the town/ area.
1995 is 12 yrs ago, and I would not assume something from then to be online (random chance of it being).

the county genweb page is another option to work. I see the have many cemetery listings, but that does not guarantee they are all inclusive.

Wendy's answer is your best bet. If they can't help you, you or someone else will have to look the obit up in old copies of the newspaper on microfilm at the public library. Three ways to do that are:

1) Go there yourself, if you live close
2) Send the library a SASE and a small donation
3) Post a request on the GenForum or Ancestry board for the county

Doing it yourself is the fastest, cheapest and surest, unless you live in Chicago now.

99.99% of all on-line obits are posted for a short time; some newspapers use 7 days, some 30, some a year.

The "Williamston Journal" in Pelzer goes back to 2002:
