Hey klw-m1950,
The Obituaries (obits) are in the newspaper every day. The serve notice to local communities. So, go to the local library and ask the librarian for help. You can call the library also! And, there are obit sites on the internet.

Ted Pack pretty much nailed it in his answer; however, if you are going to be looking up a lot of obits. The Godfrey library has a great program known as "Godfrey Scholar" For $35.00 a year you have unlimited use of Newpaper Archive and several other newspaper search sites. You also have unlimited access to all kinds of neat genealogy databases.

This is an ASTOUNDING deal considering that a paid membership to Newspaper Archive runs about 99.00 or $7.95 a month per year by itself. It is truly worth looking into. Think about it. We pay $35.00 for one meal without batting an eye many times, but balk at spending the money for a membership that lasts a whole year. The meal stays with us for what, 12 hours?
Lots of luck to you. Blessings.

In the USA, most newspapers keep them on-line for free for seven days. After that you have to get them from a volunteer on a real genealogy board.
