Barton, You said you got this obit from a library. Was it in a print newspaper? Was it on microfilm? Were you using the library’s subscription to one of the online newspaper repository? It makes a difference.

I tried “newspapers > print editions (microfilm or original)” from the SourceWriter for an obit I got from a public library. Filling in all fields, it came out like this in the output: “Donna P. Kennedy,” (Troy) Troy Daily News, 3 Nov 1987, p. 5. Notice the State is not listed. There is a field for State but it does not show in the output. Why not? Also, most obits do not have a “title.” The person’s name is the heading above the text in my example, so I typed that in the “Article” field. Does this seem right? Finally, it would be nice if the output listed the repository, but it does not. E Shown Mills says not to cite the repository, but I disagree. Would some other format include it in the output?
