Prior to 1976, Cleveland Public Library clipped death notices from the local newspapers and maintained a file of notices known as the Cleveland Necrology File. The Library later converted this file to a full-text database, which can be accessed free-of-charge by anyone with Internet access: The Cleveland Necrology File. The database permits searching by name (last name/first name or last name only) or by keyword. Using the keyword search, you can search for combinations of names and words (such as addresses or funeral home names) that may have appeared in a death notice.
To determine if an obituary article (news obituary) on the person you are researching appeared in the newspaper prior to 1976, please email the Library’s Center for Local & Global History at
clgh@cpl.org for additional research. Provide the full name of the deceased and birth and death dates (or years) as known.
Since that obituary/death notice was not published on the index, it doesn't look as if there was a death notice.
