people who have lived in Hartford Michigan, or was active
in the Hartford community, at some time during their lives.
To find a specific obituary, use the
Search Our Site
feature, also located on the
left menu of every page. The Obituary section was started January 30,
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.
Note:
if you have a good or different photo to insert with present or past
obituaries for the History of Hartford website and email
newsletters, please click
here to email them unedited directly to the webmaster.
If you don’t have a scanner, send photo by US Mail to Emma Thornburg
Sefcik, 59320 62nd St., Hartford MI 49057.
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.
