Cuyahoga County Death Notices and Obits
I’ve finally gotten together for my own use a list of online resources for searching for death notices and obituaries for Cleveland and Cuyahoga County. The three resources have been available for some time, but I didn’t completely understand the scope of each; in other words, when to use each. Here they are:
Cleveland Necrology File (1850-1975; full text)
Searchable database of newspaper death notices for the following years: 1833, 1847-48, 1850-1975, and cemetery records, created by the Cleveland Public Library.
http://www.cpl.org/ , then click on Cleveland Necrology File under Special Focus on left.
Cleveland News Index (1976-present; index only)
Created by the Cleveland Public Library, the online Cleveland News Index lists citation information for local news stories, feature articles, and reviews from the Cleveland Plain Dealer (1983-June 1999). Obituaries from the Plain Dealer and the Cleveland Press are included from 1976 to the present.
