Death's Icy Grip:	Family Obituaries, Through the Years...
	Before reading any further, accept the following statement: Journalism is an imperfect profession. That said, ideally, obituaries in newspapers should tell you what you want to know about a person: who they were, when they died, where they died and from what. Sometimes they tell you less then you had hoped to find, still other times they tell you more then you ever imaged. Still, nothing beats a good obituary from the second half of the 19th Century for shear drama and high prose. Back then, people just didn't die, they were called upon by Death, claimed by Death, and enveloped as well as enrobed by itl. The following obituaries are copied verbatim from their respective papers.
