Obituary Cards
Obituaries are taken from newspapers. Current obituaries are taken from the Herald Democrat. Historic obituaries are taken from the scanned papers on the Colorado Historic Newspaper Collection. Currently I gather the information and print it on sticker paper only when the page is full. This information is then entered into the obituary spreadsheet and put onto cards for the obituary cabinet. This cabinet is filed alphabetically.
