No, not exactly. The obituary index that is online at the Vigo County Public Library in
Terre Haute only gives listings of the date the first obit appeared in the newspaper, not
the actual obit, and 1985 is not yet online. However, the library has these obits for the
time period you need on an alphabetical obituary only microfilm. Of course they were also
in the newspaper itself, but it will be much easier to find this way, since you don't
have the exact date of death
.
The library will copy and send the obit to you for a nominal fee from this alphabetical
obit microfilm. The index says it is for the ones in the index, but they can do it from
the other type of microfilm too.

Here is the obit index link for what is online at this time:

You might tell the library in your email that the Social Security Death Index shows her as
dying in May 1985 with last residence of Terre Haute. That is not positive proof that she
died here, but it is very very likely.

Subject: [InVigo] NEED OBIT
Does anyone know if Vigo County, Indiana has obits on line? I am
looking for the obit of a Zelda Mae VAUGHN who died in May 1985. I believe she was a
school teacher and to the best of my knowledge never married. She would have been prox 90
years of age at the time of her death.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
