| St. Louis Obituary Index 1916 A - I This index of names was obtained from the Death Notice and the Burial Permits listing in the St. Louis Post Dispatch. Death Notices generally include the date of death; names of spouses, children, and parents; place of the funeral; and place of internment. Some names may appear out of alphabetical order in the St. Louis Post Dispatch listing. Burial Notices generally include address, age, and cause of death only. The Burial Permits are identified in the index with (*)..The Burial Permits include many spelling errors. Spellings will often differ from the entry in the Death Notice. As a result, when checking a name use all variant spellings. All dates listed are for the first date that the notice appeared in the St. Louis Post Dispatch, not the date of death. Death Notice entries are made only once, subsequent listings for the same person are not included. Every effort is made to be as complete as possible. However, due to poor quality in the microfilm and missing pages a small percent of the names listed are not available. This is believed to be less than 1% of the total entries. In 1916 the Death Notices are most frequently found on the first page of the Classified Section in the newspaper. Burial Permits appear most frequently at the end of the Classified Section or near the Financial Page. | |
