The following index covers obituaries in the Wareham Courier issues from 1905-1918 and 1931-1998. Intervening issues were destroyed in 1938, by a hurricane and flood which inundated the Courier office in downtown Wareham. The index data was recorded by Betty Ames between 1997 and 2000 and compiled by Betty Ames and Frances Florindo in April 2000. The indexing project was sponsored by the Wareham Free Library, and is provided with the permission of Mary Jane Pillsbury, Library Director.
The Wareham Courier obituary index has been compiled and edited with as much care as possible, though human error cannot be ruled out. Earlier issues lacked a standard obituary column, making it necessary to search entire issues for individual death notices. Many of these early pages were not numbered; such cases are marked in the index as “N/L,” meaning not listed. To make consultation easier, the index has been divided into sections according to the initial letter of the surname.
