Obituaries from Arcanum, Ohio Newspapers

Arcanum Times Mar. 26, 1926 – December 27, 1928

Contributed by Rose Shilt

Proofed by Carol Null

The obituaries included here have been abstracted for all their important genealogical content. Some were only

death notices while others were full obituaries with all the many worded content used in early times. It should also

be remembered that many newspapers of this period received their news by word of mouth, with some items being

told through a chain of several people. Spelling as found. Some of these death notices will appear in more than one

edition of this weekly newspaper, if additional information is given, then that additional data will be given. Date of

newspaper in which item appears will be given in parenthesis. If females are listed under maiden name, a further

reference is given to married name. A few items other than obituaries have been included for their genealogical

content. Marriages are included only if they took place in another area or state where they might be hard to find. As

Arcanum was not that far from the Montgomery, Miami and Preble County lines, there will be some items

concerning people in these counties. All newspapers are on micro-film and are located in the Arcanum Public

Library.

It should be noted that during this period, some of WWI death notices were reported when the relatives were

notified, or at the time the remains were received by families, if returned. Hence, the newspaper may have not

reported until the time when the remains were received or buried some time later. Also, the influenza epidemic was

the cause of an exceptionally large number of deaths for persons of all ages in this time period.

Important in figuring death dates in some instances:--

Newspaper published on Friday until Feb 28, 1916 when publication date was changed to Thursday.

Missing issues: Feb. 27, Mar 6 & Mar 23, Mar 27, 1919

All dates are as found. Some obviously are not correct and if noticed are underlined.
