Prentice researchers with ancestors in the Cleveland, Ohio, area will be interested in the Cleveland Necrology File, a new online database of Cleveland area obituaries from the mid-1800s through 1975.
Hosted by the Cleveland Public Library, the database is fully searchable and contains newspaper obituary information in the form of name, date, newspaper source, and a summary of the important facts from the death notice (spouse, survivors, funeral arrangements). A reference to the microfilm reel number on which the obituary file is contained is also provided.
The database was produced from a microfilmed copy of an alphabetical card file containing local cemetery records and newspaper death notices gathered by the staff of the Cleveland Public Library. You will find the database at Cleveland Public Library, Cleveland Necrology File (obituaries)
For your convenience, we have extracted the Prentice, Prentis and Prentiss entries. It is not in alphabetical order, so use your browser's search function to find the person you are looking for.
