New Bern Obituary Index

The New Bern Obituary Index helps users find obituaries or death notices located in the newspapers of New Bern. The dates given in the index are the dates of the obituary or death notice, not the actual dates of death.

The Obituary Index includes obituaries and death notices from 1751 through the current year.

Also included are several obituary "hoaxes" or death notices of people who were actually still living. Two such cases are the "obituaries" of Jimmie Lillian Roll in 1968 and John Koonce in 1888. For the trivia buff, the shortest name in our database is Ben, a slave, whose death was reported on April 25 and 26, 1848. The longest name in our database is Byron Hiram Ariom Long Myram William John Adrian Livingston Corbett, whose death is reported in the Tribune of August 17, 1935.

Copies of the obituaries or death notices listed in the index can be obtained by sending a check or money order for $2.00 for each notice to:

Kellenberger Room
New Bern-Craven County Public Library
400 Johnson Street
New Bern, NC 28560
