Did you know that the South Carolina State Library has a guide to South Carolina obituary resources? Many newspapers, particularly those of small communities, do not have indexing for content older than the last ten years or so and finding obituaries is not an easy endeavor. However, many of the county libraries in South Carolina have special indexes for obituaries from local newspapers and may have the newspapers on microfilm. See the LibGuide at statelibrary.sc.libguides.com/sc-obituary-resources for information on how libraries help users with information in this field.
