Obituaries Index


This will be the section for Obitiuaries for people who were born, resided, or died in Greene county.

Please feel free to submit an obitaury - just give the date published and name of newspaper - even if there is an Obituary listed please feel free to submit it especially if it is from another newspaper - or if you know it was in other newspaper and have the date of publication etc. - they can be listed at the bottom of an exisitng obituary as another source for it.

If it is a "clipped" obituary it is also welcome - just state that date and newspaper is not known - these I call "shoebox genealogy" - mom's, grandma's or auntie's - often they would clip an obituary of a relative close or distant, a neighbor, or a friend they would be saved in either a shoebox, a cigar box or tucked away in a bible.

I have obituaries that I am working on right now that have to be broken down and I have ideas or working them into the WPA Deaths and also into a cemetery database - along with pictures of tombstones (some of which are on the old site as yet). This will take sometime to organize and do - this will be a work in progress tweaked as I go. Each obit is an individual page and file name is the person proceeded with their death date - as to avoid an overwrite of a file and a matching clue in the future.


Obituary Rules - :
  • Can be out of any newspaper etc. not limited to a Greene county Indiana source
  • Person must of been born in Greene county
  • Person must of graduated from a Greene county Indiana High School
  • Person must of resided or worked in Greene County Indiana at one time and connetion mentioned in Obit
  • Person died elsewhere but was buried in a Greene County Indiana cemetery
  • Obits can be clipped -
  • Obits can be transcribed -
  • Please give the name of Newspaper, date of publication etc. if possible
  • There can be more than one obituary for a person, from more than one newspaper - just let me know and I will post all obits under the same entry for the person - remember each obituary could differ in some small way!


There is an index page for each letter of the alphabet; as time goes by it may have to be broken down further. The date after the name refers to the year the person died or the year the obituary was published. You may enter the obituaries on site through here:

- A - - B - - C - - D - - E - - F -
- G - - H - - I - - J - - K - - L -
- M - - Mc - - N - - O - - P - - Q -
- R - - S - T U - V - - W -
X - Y - Z      


The following Obituaries were submitted by Terri L. Taylor-Pearsall and are all from the Terre Haute Tribune there are some that I can not fully make the Greene county connection to so I have left them all listed on one page - those that I have I have also broken off into individual obits to work with.
