Also the obits do not just have to be out of the Bloomfield New, or Evening World; it can be any Greene county newspaper pr it can be from other newspapers from othe towns for these pages - I have collected obits from other newspapers and included them within this listing. The only requirment for another newspaper obit is that the person was:
  • Born in Greene county
  • or had resided at one time in Grenne county for a period of time
and as with all obits try to place any or all if at possible:
  • date published
  • Newpaper published in
  • Edition, Volume & Page
  • and if you wish credit a credit line

I started clipping and collecting out the Bloomfield News back in the mid 1970's and until about 1988/89 I abstracted the data from them. About that time I started saving the pages the obits were on and then annotated them with date published and "Blfd News", clipped them every 3-4 months or longer and then filed them alphabetically and about 2002 I stopped clipping them till more time came available to sit down and annotate and clip which has never came about. From about 2000 (not sure in drawer) I saved the whole page the obit and court redords were on - now a mouse hase decided it likes my papers and obits for nesting material so I am in the process of getting them into here the faster way possible and throwing the papers away.

The ones clipped are all dumped int0 two boxes and I will type them into the files as they come out and I will start with those first since they are in loose form and some are getting a little rugged around the edges. I will do them by alphabetical order and not date. Date published and the paper they came out of will be noted. All obituaries in the Bloomfield News first appeared in the Evening World during the week. Rust commiunications purchased the Evenign World and who was owner of the Linton Daily CItizen the same obituary ran in both papers

Also I will direct link from the index to the obit. I will also try to cross reference too in the future [children and spouse who have died and are listed within these pages]; biographies etc. down the line. The main priority now is getting the obits into the computer before any more damage occurs to them. I am scanning in the clipped obits from 1989-2003 as many as 8 per page - and then will crop down into individual obits till I can get them transcribed - Please be patient with me as I add them to these pages.

I also plan to use these in conection with the cemtery Indexs etc.

I am also collecting others - so that I can confirm or add to the cemetery database list I have began.
