OBITUARIES FROM THE CLARION DEMOCRAT: 1918 THROUGH 1920. 2002 Compiled by Sally Jordan Reed. This volume from Reed's series of Clarion County obituaries includes the years 1918, 1919 and 1920. During these years the highest mortality rate in the history of the Commonwealth was recorded, due to the epidemic of influenza. The death notices of that time were extensively detailed with valuable genealogical information, including date and cause of death, birth place, cemetery in which interred, occupations and activities of life, as well as the names and whereabouts of spouse, children, parents, grandparents, etc. Some listings are one paragraph but many are several paragraphs and others are a full page. These obituaries also contain names of people who were not from Clarion County, but had relatives or "ties" to the county, or lived there at one time. You will find countless bits of information and clues for genealogical research in this collection. Every-name index. (Volumes are sold separately.) 168 pages, 8 1/2 x 11 Softbound.
