Not all papers post their obits online. You may have to visit the town's library to view the local paper's obit column. Even then, the family would had to have asked the paper to publish it, they do not just do obits on everyone that dies.

There are many web sites on the internet that geneaologist use to find Obits. It helps if you know the place the person died. Usually that city will have an on line Obit page of the local newspaper. It help a lot to have the death date. If you don't have that and you think it has been a few weeks since the death occured you can go to rootsweb.com and check out the SSDI to see if the person your looking for is on the social security death index yet. That will give you the birth and death date, as well as the last residence.
I hope some of the following sites help you, if not give me more information on the person your looking for and I will see what I can find on them. Lois Ann

Ask for help from your hometown library. You can contact them via email and they'll scan the local newpaper obits for that month and year. Also, after a year or so, you can access the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) on the internet for free to view the social security number and record of anybody that has died.
