== Introduction to Obituaries==
===Newspapers===
Obituaries may provide information such as the age of the deceased, birth date and place, names of living relatives and their residences, maiden name, occupation, death date, cause of death, and place of burial. Deceased family members are frequently mentioned. Obituaries may also mention previous places of residence, immigration information, religion, and any social organizations or activities in which the deceased was involved.

Generally, the first step to obtaining an obituary is to find the death date of the person so that the obituary can be more easily found in a newspaper. Once a death date is known, the local library in the area where the person lived prior to death may be contacted to learn whether or not they have newspapers for the time period needed, and if someone is willing to look for an obituary in that newspaper. If the newspapers are not held at the library, the local newspaper office may also be contacted to learn where older editions of the newspaper are kept.

=== Ohio Obituary Index  ===
=== Rutherford B Hayes Ohio Obituary Index  ===


The [https://www.rbhayes.org/main/ohio-obituary-index/ Ohio Obituary Index] was compiled from original newspapers by [https://www.rbhayes.org/ Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Center Library] staff and volunteers. Starting in 2001, other Ohio libraries started entering data into the Index, so it now extends beyond the holdings of the Hayes Presidential Library. As of this date, 50 libraries are partners in the Ohio Obituary Index and are indexing old and current newspaper entries, totaling more than 2.1million obituaries and death notices as well as some marriage notices from 1810-2011.
