Seeking obituary published 1937
« on: Wednesday 30 May 12 18:04 BST (UK) »
Hi Chatters

What is the best way to obtain an obituary from The Oban Times?

It was for Donald MacDiarmid and ran in the paper on 20 Mar 1937. (Donald was living in Canada, but I have it on solid authority that the obituary ran in Oban.)

Thanks in advance for any direction you can provide.
