Obituaries

The Adair Anquestors have been working on a catalog of obituaries, death stories, funeral and probate announcements from the various county newspapers.  These will be listed by the year they appeared in the newspaper.  As more cataloging is completed, this list will continue to grow so please check back regularly.

Obituaries usually include the decedent's biography (sometimes quite extensive).  Death stories, funeral and probate announcements usually provide more limited information, but may include family members and relationships.

For a $2 fee, the Anquestors will provide copies of this information upon written request to:

Adair County Anquestors Genealogy Society c/o Greenfield Public Library P. O. Box 328 Greenfield, IA 50849-0328

 

In your request, please mention that your information source is the Anquestors web site and the newspaper dates where the requested obituaries can be found.
