Be sure to include the person's name, the newspaper, newspaper dates, pages and columns for every article you want a copy of. If ordering from York County Historical, the cost is $1 per name even if there were multiple articles on the person, plus $2 for shipping and handling for each order you place. For example, if you are ordering death notices/obituaries for five people the cost would be $5 for the articles ($1 each), plus $2 for shipping and handling a total of $7 for that order.
