Salem, Columbiana Co, OH has a public library, and they offer some Obits
online.
http://www.salem.lib.oh.us
When you open up this website you will scroll down, all the way to the
BOTTOM of the page, and you will see in the left hand corner a notice,
saying the Obituary Index. Click on that. The type in your surname and
make a search and all the obits for that surname will come back.
Now, make some notes as to the names you want, and the DATE the obit
appeared in the NEWSPAPER, because you can order a free pdf file sent to you
of the entire obit. For that you will first click on the deceased name, and
then a file comes up with all the relavent info from the obit, then at the
bottom of that page it states you can order an email sent to you of the
actual obit from the newspaper,, then click on that. A form will them come
up and you fill in the deceased surname, first name, and the DATE the obit
appeared in the paper, then your name, and your email address. They will
then email to you a pdf file of the obit.
To read a pdf file you will need Adobe Reader, and you probably already have
it, but if not, that can be downloaded for free from the internet. I do not
have that exact link to give you, but if you look enough you will find it,
or someone else may post that link for everyone.
Thank you and have a great day.
The purpose of this blog will be to introduce a variety of topics relating to genealogical research topics and Northeast Ohio. Topics will be updated on a regular basis and input is always welcome.

You can download Acrobat from this page at Adobe.com.
If you want to try a much smaller and faster-loading PDF reader, check out Foxit Reader. I use it on my laptop, and I really like it.
