Obituaries from American newspapers?

I have two references which I found on rootsweb ages ago, for ancestors who died in Florida in the 1960s. I have the exact references, even down to page numbers. I've tried emailing the local library and a contact I found listed on a website for the newspaper, but had no response from either (this was about two months ago).
Does anyone have any other ideas how I can get hold of them... the newspaper in question is the COCOA TRIBUNE, published Brevard, Florida.

Have you tried this page? It might be worth a go.

Yes, I tried emailing them :(
They never replied. I guess I should try again, it's probably the best lead I have!

I am in the USA. Can I help you? I belong to Ancestry.com which is a big help. Sometimes you can log on to this web site and see free stuff. If you would like me to look something up for you I will be glad to. You can reach me at [email protected] Be sure and put research in the subject line so I won't think it is spam. Joyce
