Database Sources
This database is built upon the work done by many museum volunteers over the years and was inspired by former Director Judy Knox. Two especially diligent volunteers, Paul and Jewell Shelton, collected burial records and obituaries from the area, producing a number of books available in the Museum’s research library. Volunteers have clipped, pasted, filed and then scanned obits for many years. This database combines the information from some of the Shelton books and the Museum’s Obituary Card File along with photographs taken by Museum volunteers. Kathy Dornath and Mary Capps have been active in clipping obituaries over the years. Susan, Bob and Steven Coraor digitized the obituaries and created the database.
There will be errors in this data just as there were errors in all the sources. Please, if you find an error, let us know so we can make a correction.
