Re: HOVEY obit

In Reply to: HOVEY obit by Shirley Maynard of 604

For obituaries in Tacoma, the Tacoma Library has an online database for those obituaries:
http://search.tpl.lib.wa.us/obits/

I checked the database, but there is no obituary listed for that name. There is one written for a Willis E. Hovey, death on 20 Dec 1972. This obit was found on page D-9 on 21 Dec 1972. You can get the obit here for $5.00...or for free at the Washington Library.

I would still suggest contact of the Washington State Library at: http://www.secstate.wa.gov/library/ask.aspx Give them the name of the person, the Tacoma News Tribune, published on 21 December 1972, and obit on page D-9. And to correct the other posting, they will look for an hour; but they do look longer.

I also Willis Hovey, born March 1890 that died 20 December 1972 in Pierce County, WA. He was married to Birdie Maria Harris on 21 Oct 1915. This person was the son of David W. Hovey and Alice Tierney
