Obituaries & Funeral
Notices
Over 25,000
local obituaries and funeral announcements have been
pasted on cards by employees and volunteers since the late 1960's.
These clippings are in file cabinets
and computer files
and are photographed and updated every week
by
employee, Jack Gainer. This list was
last updated in Dec 2022
The following
obituaries/funeral notices are available at the museum. The names may be
listed several times as the obituary may have been in several different local newspapers.
Some maiden names (if known) have parenthesis around them. The year of death follows
the name.
