Index to Obituary Notices in the Richmond Enquirer from May 9, 1804, Through 1828, and the Richmond Whig from January 1824 Through 1838

by H. R. McIlwaine, Jenry Read McIlwaine (Editor)

This modest work indexes approximately 4,000 obituary notices during the period prior to Virginia's adoption of a uniform vital record system, and it is not confined to Richmond obituaries, but to obituaries of Virginians. Entries are arranged alphabetically by family name, followed by a reference to the part of the state of which the deceased was a resident (usually the county), followed by the name, date, and page number of the newspaper carrying the notice.
