The index to the Scott Co. obituaries for 1887 - 1963 is now posted on the Scott Co. USGenWeb page. Each year is indexed separately and you'll find the links for each year in the chart found on the "Obituary" webpage. These are all the available obituaries or mentions of a death as listed in the available Scott County newspapers and the amount of information in them varies widely. For some, there is the bare mention of the death occurring, or perhaps a death implied by a published "Card of Thanks." Others are wonderful capsule histories of the person's life (the way an obit should be but most often isn't.) If you find one of your ancestors listed, you might want to check with me via Email: if it's a very short one I'll be able to retype and send it to you by Email. For copies of the longer ones you'll need to write the Scott County Historical & Genealogical Society for a photocopy - I can tell you how many pages you'll need to send for. I hope this is information some of you will find useful. The indexes for the years 1964, 1965 and 1966 will be added in a few weeks, as soon as the Society publishes Volume 11 of the obituary books.
