Hi Debbie:
You can obtain an obituary from the Indianapolis
Marion County Public Library. The following is
extracted from their web page:
The Central Library has Indianapolis newspapers on
microfilm from about 1822 to present. You may access
the microfilm collection in person during library
hours. We can also mail a copy of an obituary to you
for a fee. We have limited staff resources for doing
searches, so you will need to provide an exact date of
death or burial (see sources below). We will search
the newspapers within 5 days of the date of death or
burial.
If you would like us to send you a copy of an
obituary, you will need to provide us with the
following information:
Full name of the deceased
Exact date of death or burial
Your name and mailing address
The charge for searching is $1.00 per name. This
includes the cost of copying one page of an obituary.
If the obituary is more than one page, we will send
you a bill for the extra copies. Mail your request
with a check or money order payable to I-MCPL.

I am in desperate need of an obituary lookup in
Indianapolis, IN newspapers
for the year 1911.
I have found a bible entry which indicates the death
of:
Catherine WHITE - April 3, 1911.
I have been researching this for many years and now
I am so close, but yet so
far. I wrote to the Indiana Dept of Health for a
death certificate, but they
could not locate one.
Can someone please check for an obituary for
Catherine White in the
Indianapolis newspapers from April 3, 1911 to April
15, 1911?
Further information:
Catherine's maiden name: McKinney
1st husband: Zachariah Richardson
2nd husband: Jonathan White
Catherine's last known address: 540 Drover St.,
Indianapolis, IN (She was
living with her daughter and s-in-law: Angeline
"Anna" and James W. VanCleave)
Thank you very much,
Debbie
