Weirton Daily Times Obituary Index

The Mary H. Weir Public Library is proud to maintain an ever‑evolving Weirton Daily Times Obituary Index, which allows users to locate obituary listings by name and view the newspaper date when each was published. This index significantly simplifies the search process for genealogists, family historians, and community members investigating local history. Once a name and publication date are identified, patrons can request access to the specific newspaper issue on Microfilm for review of the full obituary text.

How It Works

1. Search by Name: Enter the surname (and first name, if known) into the searchable index.
2. View Publication Date: The index shows the date of the obituary in the Weirton Daily Times.
3. Access the Paper: Request the corresponding newspaper issue via microfilm or digital archive.
4. Obtain a Copy: Articles can be scanned and emailed to patrons upon request.
