This is a mix of good news and bad news.
The people at MAHS are wonderful people but they have no access to copies of the Bellaire newspaper.

HOWEVER, I found time between sessions of the school to review films up to 1901.
If you're looking for a specific obit I might have it in my database and would be willing to look.
In depth search? NO. Tell me who you're looking for and I'll see what I have.
You're better off using the e-mail address below but that's up to you.
