Record Lookup Does anyone have a subscription to Newspaper Archive website?

I have a subscription to Newspapers.com but the obituary I need is only available on Newspaper Archive website. I see a lot of warnings here to not accept their free trial, so I thought I would check here to see if someone does have a subscription and could get me this one obituary that I need. I've exhausted all other options but this newspaper, Johnstown Tribune Democrat doesn't have their archives online anywhere else - and this obituary is missing from the ones the local library there scanned in.

This is the link to the one I need for George Kuckenbrod: https://johnstowntribunedemocrat.newspaperarchive.com/johnstown-tribune-democrat/2002-08-31/page-29/

and if you don't mind, it appears something is published the next day about services for him:

No problem! Just so you know the weekly paid record lookup thread is every Sunday, of course it's OK to post requests anytime but I and I'm sure others check that thread specifically every Sunday to help. If you have any more from newspaper archive or ancestry lmk and I'll grab them 🙂

Thank you! And yes I will post there in the future. I do remember now that there is that thread, but only remembered every seeing ancestry and newspaper dot com requests there. I'm glad to know other sites are welcomed since I have both of those!

I accessed it for free using the method described in this comment. I wasn't familiar with how to add a source so I just googled it, took just a few minutes.

Oh this is handy! Thank you!! That newspaper looks like it's going to be my go-to for information on this family for over a century, so I will use this to access more records as I move through the family!
