There is a listing in the Wabash Valley Obituary Index for an obit that
appeared in the Terre Haute Tribune
COOPER JOHN SR 90 85/01/18 02 TRIB
That would be January 18, 1985 was the first time the obituary appeared in
the newspaper. The obituary should tell you on what date he actually died.
There would be more than one obituary, usually, this is only the first one
that was indexed.
Is that what you are looking for? If you need a death certificate, you
would have to obtain it from the Vigo County Health Dept. if he died in the
county.
The Vigo County Public Library will send you an obituary for a nominal fee.
