  Obituary Records

          The Guild has files with thousands of obituaries in order by surname. These obituaries may be reviewed at the Guild offices by visitors and members at no charge. There is a small (per sheet) charge for making copies, and of course, donations are always appreciated. These obituaries have been accumulated from various local newspapers. In addition to the obituary files, there are also entire obituary pages from local area newspapers. These newspaper obituary pages are all located in notebooks stored on the Guild's library shelves. These pages have all been indexed by surname on the Guild's computers. Access to view the computer indexes and newspaper pages is free to all members and visitors. Many of the indexes are also available online at the Guild's web site.
