The Library has the Big Spring Herald on microfilm, from 1901 when it was called The Enterprise. They will copy obituaries from this microfilm and mail to you if you can provide exact death date. The obituaries are not indexed so the date is necessary as otherwise it would take hours to search through all of the papers.
