Obituaries
To find an archived obituary, click above on the first letter of their last name. Maiden names and additional married names will be cross-referenced with married names at the time of death, so try whichever name you know. If you don't find a name at first, please come back to our site another time and try again. This is a long-term archival project and will continually be updated as we have the time to do so. Our obituary records go back to 1914. You can e-mail us at argus@kkspc.com with any obit requests for obituaries you do not yet find here.
Please note that any issues up to and including the Nov. 6, 1974 issue were called the Argus-Searchlight, while papers after that date were published under the Astoria South Fulton Argus name when the Argus-Searchlight combined subscribers with the Table Grove Herald.
We have compiled a master list of all obituaries beginning Jan. 5, 1914, to the current week. The list is organized alphabetically by most recent surname, and summarizes each person's name(s), age, death date, and town of residence at the time of death if available. This can aid you in narrowing down the issue of the Argus in which the obituary was published. Please click HERE to access the master list. More recent obituaries may be available in full online; if so, they are marked (FULL OBIT) in the index. We currently have all obits from 2007 to the present completed. For any obits older than this, only the year of publication is listed.
Back issues of the Astoria South Fulton Argus are available for sale for a year following publication. Any issues older than one year are available on microfilm at the Schuyler Jail Museum and Genealogical Center. For more information, please click HERE.

*Note: Our online obituary archives are incomplete due to the fact that this is an ongoing project. Obituaries older than 2007 are not available in full online. The obituary archive index is complete, however, and is sorted alphabetically by last name (at the time of death) rather than by death date to make it easier to use. If you are searching for an obituary listing and cannot find it, please feel free to e-mail us at argus@kkspc.com and we can look it up for you.
