My friend, Patricia Arch Green, of Hinsdale, IL died in August, 2004. 
I am attempting to find an obituary in a Chicago and Vicinity paper. 
Her mother, Mrs. Arch died the day after Patricia. They had a joint
burial Mass.  They are both part-owners of Blistex, a privately held
company.

Dear redemcdermo-ga,
I can refer you to a Chicago newspaper which has a 110 word obituary
for Patrica A Green and a 208 word obituary for Mildred Alice Arch.
Both are dated 13 August 2004. Unfortunately, you will have to pay
$2.50 for each of the articles. It requires registration on the site
but no other costs. Would a link to the news database and full
instructions on how to search for articles answer your question?

I have access to a full-text news source and have found these
obituaries.  I believe they are short enough that posting them here
would be considered fair-use.

From the Chicago Tribune. Friday, August 13, 2004:

Alternately, you may consider getting the names of the newspapers
(from answersfinder of course) and finding the articles yourself at
your local public library, either online or through microfilm.  Just a
thought.

Get me the obituary for Patricia Arch Green only and I will gladly pay
the $2.50.  I was using the mother's obituary for reference point,
only.  I do not need to see Mrs. Arch's obit.
