I am researching the Swan Johnson and Gustava Magnusson family of Alta, Buena Vista County, Iowa. The family had retained a clipping of the obituary and funeral notice for Swan Johnson, who died 11 Feb 1940 (newspaper name or date not noted, so I'm unsure of that).
I found, in the Family History Library, an index to the Alta Advertiser, which indicated the following obituaries had been published in the Alta Advertiser:
Gustava Magnusson Johnson d. 26 Nov. 1941 in Alta, obit published Dec 4, 1941
Clarence Albin Johnson death in 31 Oct 1946 issue
Edward Oscar Johnson d. Apr 8, 1949, obit published Apr 14, 1949.
Those issues aren't available online.
Some other family members I assume would also be published in the Alta Advertiser that weren't available online are:
Albert Leroy (Roy) Johnson who died 18 September 1914 in Sioux City, Iowa (1914 wasn't online)
Nellie Johnson who died 21 Feb 1969 in Alta, Iowa.
Malinda (Mrs. Nels P.) Swanson who died in 1952 or 1953 in Sioux City, Iowa.
Do you have suggestions of where I could request these obituaries? I tried Buena Vista County Genealogical Society and Historical Society, but the e-mail addresses provided on the website both bounced as undeliverable. I am perfectly willing to pay for them. I would prefer scanned or photographed copies sent by e-mail to printed copies, if possible.
Thanks for helping me out.
