  • Introduction
    INTRODUCTION to the Index of Death Notices, Obituaries, Estate Notices and In Memoriams as published in the Port Arthur Daily News and Port Arthur News-Chronicle 1906 - 1919 This alphabetical index was created to provide an easy reference for researchers seeking family information, biographical sources and estate files of individuals. The references cited are from the Port Arthur Daily News 1906 - 1916 and the Port Arthur News-Chronicle 1916 - 1919. These references are in most cases the first published notice. Researchers are urged to search forward about a week or two in the newspaper on microfilm from the date the death notice or obituary was published to find references to inquest cases or cards of thanks notices, as these are not included here. When variations in spellings of names were found, both variations were usually entered. In the time period of this database, death notices were not published for every person who died in the district. There were many news reports of men killed in industrial accidents such as the C.N.R. construction, however, names were not always included. Comparisons of the Ontario vital statistics and this database show only about 50 – 70% of deaths had published notices. There are very few notices in the pre-1910 Daily News. The reasons might have been editorial, social custom or cost of the notice. Rural deaths were more commonly noted in the correspondent updates from the district, especially for infants. If references about an individual are not found here or the Daily Times- Journal, please consult the Ontario Death Indexes and Registrations at the LDS Thunder Bay Family History Centre or at www.Ancestry.com available at Brodie Library.
