Emerson:
It's an index of deaths in alphabetical order. Seymour library has one. I
use it to get exact dates of deaths. Then, I get the film of newspaper
articles for that date and look up and copy the obituaries from the paper. I
have found all my ancestor's obits except three. The great flood of 1937
ruined the back issues of the Seymour newspaper from 1888 to 1899. The
ancestors I wanted, died in 1895 and 1896. What a shame. I'm sure Jennings
Co has such an index too. The genealogist over there is Denise Shafer. You
could even Email her at jlibrary(a)seidata.com and address it "Attention:
Denise Shafer." She's a great help to everyone. Plus, she suggests areas I
never thought of. I've gone through about everything both libraries have
and all that's on the internet. I guess I'll have to go to Indianapolis or
Ft. Wayne next.

Mike,
Please explain what "necrology index" is. I'm familiar with
"necro" but am
unfamiliar with it in the context of being an index.
