Obituary Index: Every attempt has been made to include every name which has appeared in obituaries in local papers. During the time period included the newspapers and publications varied in their practices related to publishing obituaries. Some published formal obituaries and others simply used news articles to convey information. The volunteers have worked diligently to include all information relevant to local obituaries. The microfilm records used in the project came from a variety of archival and commercial sources. Some sources did not have access to every single issue of all published newspapers. No attempt has been made by the volunteers to create a record of every issue missing from the individual rolls of film.
