Brian,
Why don't you contact Marilyn Anderson at the email address below (Sterling Library)? She can email you the obit - She only charges a dollar for the copy. Be sure and tell her we sent you! The Gazette often had obits for surrounding area, including P-town.
Sterling Gazette began publishing in 1854. The Sterling library has them on microfilm. They have many of them indexed on line. Currently they are working on 1890s, so it will be a while before the earlier ones are indexed. However, if you are in the area, you can certainly view them at the library.
Sterling Public Library
102 West Third Street
Sterling, Illinois 61081
Phone: 815-625-1370
Fax: 815-625-7037

Brian - Denise,
IMHO, it would be worth the while to check the early newspaper films held at the Odel Library, Morrison.
