About this Resource:
Obituary listings in the indexes may be found under the heading for "deaths" or under the last name of the individual. Murders, accidents or other deaths by violence are indexed under the person’s name; divorces are generally found under the names of the parties involved. Only partial indexes exist for some years prior to 1890.
To request a copy of an article cited in the indexes, please contact us.
