Local History Obituary Card Files
R974.7  Joh  Johnstown Public Library.  Local History Obituary Card Files.

This photograph includes obituary cards for Knox family members.  Also shown is the family album produced for the company and the death announcement for Mrs. Knox in 1950 in the local newspaper The Morning Herald.

These internally maintained files were developed over thirty years ago as a means of documenting births, deaths, baptisms, confirmations, marriages and other family history of local residents.  Main sources used to develop the file include newspapers and church records.  The file continues to grow with volunteers entering data on a daily basis in an effort to enable genealogist’s easier access to research information.
