 Original Website

We intend to publish this index directly to the web as each group of five years is completed.   Library staff members are simultaneously indexing succeeding years for obituaries and this information will be added to what we hope will be a useful online reference resource.   Please bear with us; bookmark this page, and check back often.   In capturing this information, we are not discriminating between local and non-local people; therefore we indexed the obits for Presidents Woodrow Wilson and Warren G. Harding, the perennial presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, and the late revolutionary, Leon Trotsky, among others, not that we expected particularly strong associations between these people and Alexandria and Northern Virginia.

 This update includes obituaries indexed for 1920-1925 and the index now totals 8,375 entries.   Please note, some of the data files are very large and may take a few moments to load.   Of particular interest to the researcher is that quite a number of persons are listed several times.   Often, the first listing is the death notice and subsequent listings provide detail as to the arrangements and family member names and/or addresses, church affiliation, and burial location.

 Photocopies of the obituaries indexed are available.   Contact the Library for details:   Phone: 703.838.4577 ext. 213;   FAX: 703.706.3912.   We are open: Monday-Thursday, 9 am - 9 pm; Friday, 9 am - 6 pm; Saturday, 9 am - 5 pm, Eastern.   Please check the Alexandria Library's home page for holiday closures.
