Indiana Obituaries

Throughout Clinton County, any obituaries printed in the local newspapers are indexed and stored with the Frankfort Community Public Library. They are available from 1985 through 2005 and can be searched online using either the year of publication or the first letter(s) of the last name, narrowed down by the paper in which it occurred.

The search database on the Garrett Public Library website allows instant access to information required about Indiana death notices. The files can be found by entering basic information such as the date the person died as well as his or her name. From there, the actual scan of the publication is available for free printing.

If you are looking for the copy of a printed notification from within the region, then you should look to the Hendricks County Indiana Obituary Database and Card File. This list is continually updated so that it remains as complete as possible from the printings that occur within the local newspapers.

The South Bend Tribune keeps an index of all of its obituaries, therefore if you need to see one of them or obtain a copy, it is possible to search the lists to locate just the one required. To perform a lookup online using the website, you need only the name of the individual. The results will then be sorted by name, address, city, state, or year of publication.

People need access to obituaries for a variety of reasons; online databases make it much easier and quicker to do this. The Courier Times of New Castle, Indiana publishes the current week’s obituaries, most recent ones appearing first. For older obituaries, readers may use the search option to look by name and date.

The Indianapolis Star makes it easy to search for obituaries online. The newspaper organizes the current obituaries by date and then by county. You may find notices for residents of Marion, Boone, Hamilton, Hendricks, Johnson, Morgan, and other Indiana counties, as well as former residents. For older notices, search by name or date.

The Journal Gazette, the second largest newspaper in Indiana, began life in 1863 as the Fort Wayne Gazette and remains independently owned today. Under “Local” on the homepage, you will find an Obituaries option. That page holds national obituaries and those of notable figures in the Fort Wayne community.
