This index of names was obtained from both the Death Notice and the Burial Permits listing, as well as Obituary Articles, found in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Death Notice entries generally include the date of death; names of spouses, children, and parents; place of the funeral; and place of interment. Some names may appear out of alphabetical order in the Death Notice Section of the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Burial Permits generally include address, age, and cause of death. Burial Permits are identified in this index with (*). The Burial Permit listing in the St. Louis Post Dispatch may include spelling errors and names will often differ from the entry in the Death Notice. When checking a name, it is important to use all variant spellings. Obituary Articles generally include greater detail about an individual, including occupation, brief biography, relatives, etc. Obituary Articles are identified in this index with (#). During both World War I and World War II Casualty Lists were included in the newspaper. These listed those soldiers Killed In Action (KIA), Missing in Action (MIA), Prisoner of War (POW) and wounded. KIA's and MIA's have been added to these indexes and are also identified with (#). In many cases MIA's were never found and are presumed to have died in service. Those that were reported found or POW were not included in this index. All dates listed are for the first date that the notice appeared in the newspaper, not the date of the death. Death Notice entries are usually made only once, subsequent listings for the same person have not been included unless additional information is believed to be contained in later entries. Every effort is made to be as complete as possible in this index. Additional years of indexes will be added as they are completed.
