Collection: Leavenworth County, KS Funeral Programs

Scope and Contents

The collection mainly consists of funeral programs and obituaries. The dates on the documents range from the late 1960s through 2017 and some contain clipped obituaries. Many other obituaries were kept as well. The obituaries were primarily obtained from The Leavenworth Times and have been photocopied due to the acidic nature of the newspaper. The majority of the funeral programs come from individuals whose funeral service or burial was in Leavenworth County, Kansas. The programs are divided by letters of the alphabet, but have not been alphabetized within each folder.
