Original obituary of Edwin James Searls (1850 - 1917), including his portrait from his retirement. An entire page of the newspaper was devoted to his death since many people were unable to attend due to a heavy snowstorm. This required five scans to get it all. Interesting sidenote: Doug Searls, nephew of Edwin and son of Edwin's brother Dwight, is putting the obituary onto the World Wide Web. [S__0048]
