From Ozaukee County Historical Society in Cedarburg
We have a couple who volunteer for us and put obituaries into Find A Grave
each day. They are also photographing tombstones in each of the
cemeteries in our county. As they have time they are adding the clipped
obituaries that we have in our file collection. They had been including
the photographs from the newspaper obits but have stopped adding them for
privacy reasons.
If anyone would like more information about this process I would be willing
to send it.
