Houston Chronicle Obituaries, 1901-1905

This database is an index to obituaries from 1901 to 1905 found in the Houston Chronicle newspaper in Houston, Texas. The Houston Chronicle was first published on 15 October 1901 and is still in publication today. This index not only provides the name of the deceased, but also the date of death, age at time of death, obituary date, and section and page number the obituary is found on. Dates are given in the month/day/year format.

NOTE: Please do not make the mistake of assuming that all individuals found in this index died in Houston. Sometimes obituary notices were given for individuals who at one time had lived in Houston, who had relatives that lived in Houston, or who died elsewhere but were going to be buried in Houston. Also, be aware that occasionally notices were printed on multiple days and that even between these days the spellings of the names changed. Be sure to search for relatives in this index using variant name spellings. The gender of an individual is indicated if it cannot be determined simply by their name. Occasionally you may find the words "mortuary report", "article", or "picture" following an individual's name. The "mortuary report" refers to the City of Houston Health Department's mortuary report, which was occasionally printed in the newspaper. "Article" refers to articles that reported deaths that were found on the same page as the obituary notices or mortuary reports. The word "picture" is listed when a picture was also printed along with the article.
