It's important to know that the obituaries themselves are not available-just the source; included are the peron's name, the name of the paper that published the obituary, and the date of publication. The most recent entries are listed first. (The Eagle Gazette is not included). However, with the information available, the genealogist can contact the proper newspaper and have the right date on hand.
