You are very welcome LaFonda. I recommend contacting the local libraries in Monroe, Louisiana and in Choctaw and Thomasville, Alabama, and ask them to search their archives for a newspaper obituary for Abbie Northrup. If you are looking for the names black newspapers that may have existed in Monroe, Choctaw and Thomasville at the time of Abbie's death, you can ask for the names of the papers here on the Afrigeneas site at the African American newspapers forum. Happy hunting!
