The good people of Missouri have done a fantastic job of putting obituaries online for people all around the world to see. Many local libraries and newspapers have devoted hundreds of man hours to copying and scanning Missouri obituaries and as time passes, there will be even more of them online for people to view.
You can start your search for Missouri obituary records by checking in with the Adair County Historical Society and their comprehensive website. They feature listings published in the Kirksville Daily Express. The Cass County Historical Society has a similar site set up that republishes listings that appeared in newspapers from across the area. The Houston Herald newspaper has a section of their website that allows for easy browsing of obits from 1949 to present day.
The Jefferson County Library also has a massive number of obits online you can browse from 1999-2004. Macon County has a page on USGenWeb that keeps track of many of that area's listings, and you can also check the McDonald County Library for listings in that area that date from several decades ago. One final place to look is the official state archives webpage for listings that go back before 1909.
