* I found that there were potentially 2 papers that could hold that obituary. They are,
Falls City Journal [Microform]
Falls City News [Microform]
These papers are available at the,
Nebraska State Historical Society Library
1500 R St, Lincoln, NE 68501
The Falls City Tribune was not printed in 1902. The Falls City Bazoo was only printed for 2 years according to Chronicling America, 1892-1893. There are other Falls City papers but none that I can find that were printed in 1902. Mark
