Most of our local funeral homes archive obituaries, some back to 2002. If the obituary was published in another newspaper you may find it on one of these web sites. Sometimes they put a picture of the person on their website and there may be guestbook entries to read. Here are some you may want to try:
Enea Funeral Homes (Herkimer, Ilion, Mohawk, Frankfort, Little Falls, St. Johnsville)
Fenner Funeral Home (Herkimer)
J. Seaton McGrath Funeral Home (Richfield Springs)
Our local newspapers:
