Hello List,
The Muncie Public Library has an online database for Court Records, Meeks Mortuary Records
and Obituaries.
The Court records are for Delaware County, but I have found records for some of my
Randolph County families.
The Meeks Mortuary records go back I think to the late 1800's, I have found a few of
my Randolph county people listed in this database also.
The obituaries are from The Muncie Star Press, and list any that were in the paper, I
think the only years so far are from 2002 to present day.
They will be adding to these databases frequently.
They are working on some viewing issues, some users cannot view the documents but they are
working on this. When you visit the site it will ask you to download a viewer.
If you have problems viewing the documents with the public sign on and password. Try the
Mac password which is publicmac. I can view the documents with the Mac password. I have
to open the image 2 times before it will display. But it is well worth the extra steps to
view the information available in these databases.
Here are the URL's for the databases. You may want to read the directions on how to do
a search before you try to enter the database.

Good luck! Hopefully the databases will be useful to your research!
