Selected 'best' obituaries from a collection of over 60,000. All were kept in our digital files, but most duplicates are not linked. They came from various area newspapers like the 'Bridgeport Index', 'Wise County Messenger', 'Decatur News', 'Chico Texan', 'Wise County Shopper', 'Fort Worth Star Telegram', and others are from sometimes unidentified local newspapers. Some are not local but were collected through family research.
Many newer obituaries that were not in the newspapers came from 
the Hawkins https://www.hawkinsfuneralhome.com/ or Hudson-Torres Funeral homes https://hudsontorres.com/ Go to their web pages for the very latest obituaries.
Also check for names in the indexes of newspaper online. 
You may find articles about sickness and accidents.

Thank you to David E. Pitts for 'mining' all of the older obituaries out of the newspaper pages.

Contact Sue@WiseCountyTexas.info     We may be able to help if:
1. Links don't work.
2. Image is too dark.
3. Image has a rolled edge.
4. Obituary says (Sheet) and is just text.
5. The date and name of newspaper is not given.
