Not certain if many of you are aware, but recently the Putnam county library went online
with many of their obituaries.
It is searchable, but you must have a surname.
I have been going through them randomly and pulling out data for the website as it
pertains to --
church membership
mens fraternal orders
womens fraternal orders
military.
There are persons from Putnam, Owen, Morgan, Clay and Vigo counties in their listings.
Some are from other counties.
I am concentrating on the ones from our counties.
I will be placing these on the website.
I have a book on the Christian churches and Churches of Christ for Owen County but not the
others ---- so I am using this method to glean data.
I am randomly searching these surnames and will find more.. if you wish to suggest some
surnames please feel free.
The Putnam county library site is found...
