Bradford Era Obituary Index
1935 - 1995
The Bradford Era Obituary Index 1935 - 1995 is the result of 15 years of
dedicated research by a group of historically oriented individuals
whose common interest in genealogy led to the development of this
database.
Initially, Larry Richmond, William J. Reed, and Glen Reed began the
project using their primitive computers.
Later, Sam Scott and Judith Shick joined in the research. At present,
the database is updated yearly, and under the supervision of Larry
Richmond,
and is projected to be carried into the next century. This index lists
the name, age (in earlier databases), obit date (this may also be death
date)
as this indexing was taken in part from necrology at the end of the
year, Bradford Era used death date.
Just check a day or two later for the obit. If a street address is
given, location is Bradford, Pa.
Later database used Bradford, Pa. location, location is place of death
or location of obit. Cemetery was added to later databases.
Any questions or want look ups, visit the Bradford Landmark Society or email queries@bradfordlandmark.org.
Your request will be handled by a volunteer. The volunteer will be unable to do detailed research.
Please limit your request to no more than 4 per email/letter. You are welcome to submit an additional request after 2 weeks.
Obituaries from 1888 through April 1946 are available on-site. Obituaries from May 1946 to present must be obtained off-site.
Please allow extra time to obtain the off-site obituaries.
Keep in mind early obituaries often consist of two or three
sentences in a column titled "Daily Developments" and may not give the
name of surviving or deceased family members.
The date shown in the index is the approximate date the obituary appeared in The Bradford Era.
It may or may not reflect the actual death date.
We will ask a fee of $5.00 per obituary to cover the cost of obtaining, copying and mailing.
Please submit a check or money order made payable to "Bradford Landmark Society" and mail to
PO Box 1021, Bradford PA 16701.
Your copies will be sent through the U.S. Mail. Be sure to provide your mailing address.
Your patience is appreciated as we handle the numerous requests we
receive. We strive for no longer than 3 weeks turn-around time.

lost in a computer crash years ago. This database contains some 3,800
