| The obituaries listed below are from Cambria County newspapers only. |
| The listing is not complete, but it is a continuing project. We are
gathering obituaries from other pages within the website, and kind volunteers are
contributing more information. New listings are added almost daily. If you don't
find what you need now, please check back often. |
| A more complete index for several of the local newspapers can be found
on the Blacklick Township webpages (see bottom of the page). This is a listing only
and does not include scans or extracts. |
| If you have some obits you would like added, please send us a typed
transcript of the obituary. You must include the name of the newspaper and the date
of the publication. Scans of obits dated before 1924 can be added, but they aren't
a requirement to have your information added. Obituaries not published within
Cambria County will be returned to you. |
| If you would like a copy of any obituary listed here, you can: |
| (1) Contact your local library to see if they can order a copy of the
microfilm containing the issue of the paper you're interested in. |
| (2) Contact the Johnstown Library or the Cambria County Historical
Society. For a fee, they will check their microfilm and files. Links to their
websites (with a listing of their copy/research fees) can be found at:
https://camgenpa.com/resources.html |
| (3) Ask on the Cambria County mailing list or Cambria County boards
to see if someone can provide the copy for you. |
| (4) If the obituary is part of a 'collection', follow the link
provided for that item and request a copy. |
| This obituary index was compiled by Lynne Canterbury, Patty Millich,
Diann Olsen, and Sharon Trosan. Most of the original data from this list (1993-2006) came from
information contributed by Lisa Baker, Martha Humenik, Cathy Makara, James Rosenbaum & Norine
Swisher. |
