- All orders will be fulfilled within five weeks but are normally completed sooner.
Newspaper sources we reference in the Ohio Obituary Index include the Akron Beacon Journal and the Akron Beacon Journal Series, which is a microfilm series of earlier newspapers that eventually became the Akron Beacon Journal (the Summit Beacon, the Summit County Beacon, the Akron Daily Beacon, the Akron Beacon & Republican and the Beacon Journal). While we use Akron Beacon Journal Series as a general source in this Index, we cite the specific newspaper in which an obituary appeared when we send a copy.
Library staff and volunteers are adding entries into the Ohio Obituary Index database as time permits. Until the data entry is complete, you may consult the following indexes on our website to order obituaries:
Akron Beacon Journal indexes, 1841 - 1939 (check under the "Deaths" heading as well as under the individual's last name)
Akron Beacon Journal obituary indexes, 1937 - present
