Obituaries, Death Notices & Death Certificates

Thank you for helping!

Attention - The Wheaton Journals 1919 - 2002 are now on DVD disc. These are very valuable to the history and genealogy of our county and will aid the Barry County researcher a great deal.

Click here to read more about this effort and how to obtain details for ordering. Funds collected will go to a Wheaton community project and will be used to help restore the Wheaton Depot.

Coordinator's Message: To abide by copyright laws, obituaries published in newspapers after 1939, must not be published on the Web unless you are the author, the obituary is for a family member, the newspaper gives you permission, or you provide only an abstract (such as name of deceased, date of death, newspaper that published the obituary, and the publication date). Obituaries published before 1939 can be copied in their entirety.

The federal rule regarding published material in the public domain is published more than 70 years ago, so we can freely post anything published prior to 1939.

These death notices, abstracts and obituaries continued herein are offered to you as a research aid. Please do not write and ask for the original or other details. It's up to you to find a copy of the item and to locate the paper it was published in - and to do your own research.

Some of the older obituaries will be located on microfilm. Film can be ordered through the State Historical Society of MO on an inter-library loan. In most cases your local library will take care of the details and order it for you. But you may need to tell them what year and what paper you want to read or know about.

Our thanks to Wilma Fields, Betty Higgs Lamberson, Mary Homesley, Linda Garrett, Penny Bailey and others who have given countless hours to this important project. And also thanks to Stefanie Forrester for designing the format and for her help with the organization of the online obits.

We have made an effort to be accurate - but we are not responsible for error of content or omission of data.
