Natalie was a long time, avid genealogist who understood the value of clipping and saving not only obituaries, but birth announcements and marriage and anniversary ceremonies and celebrations from the local newspaper. Although she primarily kept clippings for people she knew directly she also clipped information on people she knew indirectly or through acquaintances of hers. Regardless of her affiliation to the people in the list, this collection contains a treasure trove of information that we are certain she would be happy to see us share on her behalf. We know from working with this collection that Natalie spent well over 30 years gathering this information with the goal of helping fellow researchers on their family history research quest. Natalie donated her collection to the Research Center in 2007.

Natalie passed away in 2010 knowing her work has been preserved as she wished, below is a link to her obituary.

As of October 2021 only the obituaries in this collection have been indexed. We will endeavor to work on the remaining newspaper clippings in this collection and get the rest of the index posted as soon as we can.
