Obituary Request
The library maintains the local newspaper, The Daily American Republic, on microfilm dating back to as early as 1893. This collection is not conclusive, particularly in the earliest editions.
The library does provide a research and copy service of articles/obituaries from the local newspaper for a fee of $5.00 per incident. However, an index for this material does not currently exist. For this reason, library staff are limited to searching only those requests, which contain the exact name of the individual involved and the exact date of the incident. To request a copy of a local newspaper article/obituary, please send a written request containing the above information, the $5.00 fee, and a SASE to:
POPLAR BLUFF PUBLIC LIBRARY
318 NORTH MAIN STREET
POPLAR BLUFF MO 63901
The results of the search will then be returned in the envelope provided. If you have any additional questions on newspaper services, please contact the library at 573-686-8639 or by email.
