Obituaries from Chippewa County Newspapers:

This page contains transcriptions of obituaries which were published in local newspapers. Also included are accidents on Lake Superior which resulted in the deaths of passengers and/or crewmen. Actual shipwreck accounts - even those which contain loss of life - will be placed on a separate Shipwrecks page.

These records were transcribed from microfilm. Quality of the microfilm varies according to the preserved state of the original newspaper when it was filmed. All original spelling and punctuation is preserved in the transcription. For words were the text is missing or where guesses at spelling have been made, the words will be enclosed in brackets [ ].

Unless a specific town or township is mentioned, the record refers to events in Sault Ste. Marie

If you would like to contribute transcriptions to this project, please send them to the coordinator.
