Obituary Database
To find an obituary, enter at least two characters in one
of the name fields or the year of death. You can search a range
of years by also making a selection in the drop down menu.
The search looks for names that begin with the letters you have
entered in the name fields and any records that contain data
entered in the Other Information field.

| Stewart Library gratefully acknowledges the contribution of
the Grinnell Historical Museum volunteers to this project. They
developed and maintained a paper obituary file for many years
and it has grown to include over 18,000 obituary records. In
1999 Stewart Library and the Museum were joint recipients of
a federal Library Services and Technology Partnership Grant
to digitize this file. The grant paid for the equipment
and staff time necessary to enter the information into a database
and scan each of the obituaries. The museum remains a
crucial part of this project and they will continue to maintain
their paper file. The museum is open on Saturday and Sunday
afternoons from 2-4 pm. For more information call (641)
236-7827. |
