OSAGE
COUNTY OBITUARIES, 1885 TO PRESENT $2.00
for each item/page copied as is (includes postage). “As is” means exactly as found in the
scrapbook. Many news items do not
include the name of the newspaper or date of publication. If the researcher requires the full
citation, then we may need to look it up on microfilm. Since additional time would be required,
the fee for a news item with full citation is $3.00 Please
include name, book number, and page number with your request. |

This index includes over 45,000 names
gathered by many volunteers over a thirty-year period. The obituaries
have been compiled into more than thirty notebooks. Because there were
many volunteers, there are some duplications.
There are instances, however, of obits being different because they were
derived from different sources. Copies of duplicates will not be sent. When compiling the index, the following
criteria were observed: 1. Some obits were only news items, but they may have
been the only notice of death. 2. The index includes only the name of the
deceased. It does not include the names of survivors. 3. Every known name that a person used was recorded as
a separate record. For example, a married woman would be listed by her
maiden name (with no title) and her married name (with the title Mrs.) 4. If a woman married a second or more times, she would
be listed with each known surname. 5. Married women are listed by their own first name if
it is known. If not known, they are listed as Mrs. (husband’s first
name and surname.) 6. Maiden ladies and young women are listed with the
title Miss if that fact could be discerned. |
