Every month since January 2015 we have had a volunteer scour the county funeral home websites and accumulate the current months obituaries so that we can store them in a cumulative file at the historical society. This move was due to the fact that newspapers started charging for obits quite some while back and it was found that many families would forego a printed obit in the paper in order to save money. Since we started this project we have accumulated 3,354 obituaries which accrue at an average rate of about 53 deaths per month in the county.

The months of January through March 2020 have just been added to our Master Obituaries Index which can be found by selecting the Records tab on our website and then selecting  Library Resource Indexes.
