Obituary Service
We have Obituaries starting about 1986 for Williamson County from the Marion Daily Republican and the Southern Illinoisian Newspapers. We also have obits of earlier years when we find them in our files or when someone let's us copy their private collection from Family Bibles, scrapbooks and keepsake boxes.
If you would like us to send you a copy of an obit from our files please send a SASE and $1.00 to the WCHS. If we have the obit we will send you a copy of it, if we don't we'll
send your $1.00 back.
Typed or printed request, mail request to:
Williamson County Historical Society, 105 South Van Buren St.,
Marion, IL 62959.Please consider sending any old obits you might have and we will add it to the collection. This is one of our most popular files researchers use at the WCHS. We would be happy to add your family to the files
