Death Certificates can be obtained from the Clerk & Recorder of Missoula County: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~obitl/volmt.html The Montana Genealogical Society does have an online death index, but it provides little more than sex, date of death and age at time of death, and county of death: http://www.rootsweb.com/~mtmsgs/death_records.htm I hope this is the kind of information you are seeking.
