Between 1871 and 1891, the county was served by the Columbia Missouri Herald newspaper. This database is a collection of over 5500 obituaries from the newspaper for these years. Information provided includes name of the deceased, date of birth or age at time of death, and the issue date of the obituary. For researchers of Missourian ancestors, this can be a valuable database.
