There is something wrong with the url for the obituary. It shows "The requested URL /ms/monroe/obits/whitfiel738gob.txt was not found on this server."

It appears the link, which was posted by another contributor, went to the bad 404 zone. It happens sometimes, don't know why. I updated the url, so let's see. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
