+=== Obituaries ===
+The ''Sherbrooke Record'' is a favourite Québec newspaper for obituaries, and for the better part of the 20th century it is a genealogical treasure. It now serves most of the “English” Townships which once had papers for almost every large community. It sometimes takes the local correspondent several weeks to write up the achievements of some regional notable, so an obituary hunt may be a long one. The big city newspapers are usually quicker to print their story, but know less about the individual. As the “English” population in Québec cities declines, so does the number of newspapers.<ref>Douglas, Althea.
