I think there is a dollar charge for a library card at the BPL.

Searching for a name doesn't always work, so it helps to have a date of death. I search the collection by date and the word "deaths" and the obituary pages show up (among others). You can save the images as PDF files. If you are a MA resident, you can obtain a library card for free. I use my brother's since I am out of state. Thank you for the information. I had given it a try using a surname with no results a while back. I went back last night and tried searching "deaths" but still no luck. I'll keep trying.
