Answer
The Marion County Public Library has digital resources to assist with searching for obituaries. NewspaperArchive contains millions of newspaper pages from 1607 to present. Every newspaper in the archive is fully searchable by keyword and date.More information regarding NewspaperArchive can be found here. Ancestry Library Edition is available for use inside the library. It contains census, military, immigration, and vital records, including marriage and obituaries. Both of these require a Marion County Public Library card to use.
