Compiler: George E. Hamilton
This book is a compilation of obituaries and death notices published by Mainline Newspapers (Portage Dispatch, Cresson Mainliner, Nanty Glo Journal, Ebensburg Mountaineer-Herald, and Northern Cambria Star-Courier) of Ebensburg, Cambria County, Pennsylvania.
Designed as a finding aid for use in acquiring obituaries, the user will quickly be able to identify the correct obituary and date for furthering family history research. Having provided all the names enumerated within the published obituary, it further allows the user to find other family members as well as the Funeral Home and Cemetery for the deceased.
Using the provided funeral home listings, with the associated addresses, phone numbers, and internet addresses, the user can obtain the exact obituary desired. If the Funeral Home cannot provide the obituary, then by contacting the newspaper office and providing the page number references from the newspapers, the obituary may be obtained.
2009 is a rather recent date but privacy laws often make it more difficult to find current information than it is to find older information. Some of the deceased may have been born 80 and 90+ years ago and their ancestors are also named.
The author plans to continue his work. At this writing, he has completed copying the years 2010, 2011, 2012, and up-to date for 2013 as well as partial entries for other years.
