Do You Know
that you can search just the
Obituaries on the site by using the
three County Specific Obituary selections
in the Partitioned search engine at the bottom
of the
Current What's New Page? You can narrow
your search by including a key word in the
cemetery name or a township name in addition to
the surname you search. Then select the Find All
Words option.
You'll also find obituary and other newspaper
clippings using Clippings partition.
Additional clippings can be found in the Birth,
Marriage, and some other partitions. |

| Reading a series of obituaries from a
single cemetery, as they are presented here, is like reading the
multi-generational history of a community. These people were the local
populace at a particular time. The people buried here knew each other,
were neighbors, relatives and school mates. They attended church
together and engaged in "trade" or business.
All people are listed in alphabetic order by surname at BIRTH.
Women identified by a married alias only and for whom a birth surname
can not be identified, are listed on the last page for the cemetery's
obituaries. Please send in typed obituaries for people buried in our
local cemeteries. If possible include name of newspaper and date. Send
typed in your email or in attached Word files. Send to Joyce M. Tice (JoyceTice@aol.com)
