The years 1925 and 1944 do not have any data
since there is no microfilm available for
those years!
About the Obituary Index:This obituary index is taken from The LaRue County Herald, on microfilm
located at the LaRue County Public Library. Each name is listed with the date of the newspaper,
also page and column number where it can be found. Some have very detailed information, some only a mention
of the date or location of their deaths, funerals or burials. Some died in surrounding counties, some in
another state. I have listed these so you will know where to look for more details. I listed the spouse or
parent, if given. If the spouse and parent were both named, I listed the spouse. This is a very slow process
so please be patient while you are waiting for another year to be posted. -LLS
The above obituary indexes include name of deceased, age, date listed in
the newspaper with page & column numbers, and the spouse or parents, if listed.
