Obituary Index

Welcome to our obituary and death notice index for the Greenwood Index-Journal newspaper, abstracted from the Greenwood County Library's microfilm holdings by the GCL Reference Department staff and volunteers. Coverage includes:

  • the Greenwood Journal (Sep 12, 1895 to Apr 12, 1917)

  • the Greenwood Index (Mar 7, 1901 to Feb 5, 1919)
  • the Greenwood Index-Journal (Feb 6, 1919 to present)

Our online index is currently not available, but we have the following years already indexed that we can search for you:

1895-1905, 1907, 1917-1918, 1947, 1970-1972, 2001 (added 10/4/06!), 2002, 2004-05
We encourage you to contact us for any obituary/death notice information you may need.

If you cannot come to the library, the Reference staff accepts requests. Mail requests with the pertinent information to the Reference Department, Greenwood County Library, 106 North Main Street, Greenwood, SC 29646 or email ReferenceDesk@greenwoodcountylibrary.org. Photocopies are $1.00 per obituary. Make checks/money orders payable to the Library. Allow 2-3 weeks for processing. Contact the Reference Department by phone (864)941-4650, ext. 4655, or email ReferenceDesk@greenwoodcountylibrary.org, for more information.

Many thanks to our staff--Gail Hinton, Doug Lefler, Pam Morgan, Bobby Slabaugh, Susan Smith, and John Robert Young--and our community volunteer, Chandra Christian, for their efforts in abstracting and transcribing these lists!

This is a work-in-progress! If you live in this area and are interested in assisting us with this valuable project, please contact the Reference Coordinator for more information at 941-4650, ext. 4664, or email ReferenceDesk@greenwoodcountylibrary.org.
