The link below is for the New Haven Public Library which has a link for "Ask A Librarian" perhaps that could be worth an e-mail to see if they can give you the details of the Obituary.  ;)

Thank you so much Sandra for all this, I cant believe its so quick.  I will start looking at it now and get obit. notice etc.

By any chance I dont know whether you can help with any search for:

John McDaid b. 1874  Born Urris Co. Donegal Ireland.  Emigrated to USA - Tennesse ?  had 3 sons
Joseph McDaid 1886         "                          "                        "                   Posiibly New york.

Both of these are james McDevitt brothers ( he changed his surnname)

The father of all of them was Neal Mcdaid.
