The Lebanon Historical Society has an extensive collection of obituaries pertaining to Lebanon residents clipped from local newspapers, especially the Granite State Free Press and the Valley News. These clippings are pasted onto large index cards or paper slips and filed alphabetically. Included in this file are clippings of birth and marriage announcements. Some slips contain handwritten genealogical charts that summarize the wives, children, and parents of particular individuals.
Access to the obituary files is open only to members of the Lebanon Historical Society. Members may contact the curator to arrange a time to consult the files, or requests may be made directly to the curator to make photocopies of relevant slips and cards.
The Valley News is available on microfilm at the Lebanon Public Library covering the years 1952-2020. Please contact the library to request copies of obituaries.
