What is the Obituaries Collection?

Our Obituary Collection spans from 1995 to 2009 with some dates earlier and not all dates included. These are copies from various newspapers. Our index lists name, * if there is a picture, birth date, death date, city of residence, cemetery and the source of the obituary.

Some abbreviations used in the index are Cem-cemetery, Ch-church, UMC-United Methodist Church, Natl-National, Co-County, VA-Veterans Administration, VSO-Veteran’s Service Organization, LC-Leaf Chronicle, TN-The Tennessean Newspaper, NB-Nashville Banner, CS-Clarksville Star, DCH- Dickson County Herald, CDTL-Clarksville Daily Tobacco Leaf, TL-Clarksville Tobacco Leaf and SWTL-Semi Weekly Tobacco Leaf.

If you would like to purchase a copy of an obituary, please write to us requesting a copy. Please include the person’s full name with all the information listed in the index. Copies are one dollar ($1.00) per obituary and enclose a self-addressed stamped envelope with your request. An envelope MUST be enclosed or we will not be able to return your request. Please include your email address so that we may be able to contact you if we have further articles with information. We will send a copy of the obituary with the most information available.
