2008 and current obituaries will be posted as they become available.
Obituaries are from the local newspapers, unless otherwise noted.
If you have an obituary notice (or learn of the passing away of
someone who lived in Hartford at one time) of a former Hartford
resident from a newspaper away from the Hartford area, please send
it. Past obituaries will be added as time permits. Death
notices are also posted in the
HHS graduate database.

Many requests are made for obituary
notices and this is a good genealogical resource, as well as
providing obits to extended family members who may not have an
original. Searching previous year obituaries (mainly prior to
2003) requires a good deal of time. If you found this to be a
valuable resource and would like to be a sponsor toward keeping the
obituaries page updated, send donations to History of Hartford
Obituaries, Emma Sefcik, 59320 62nd St, Hartford MI 49057.
Since the History of Hartford website is a voluntary effort, your
contribution is much appreciated.
Email the webmaster
with any correction of obvious errors that may have occurred
in the original newspaper obit.
