Examples of the information we collect include: obituaries, information about accidents that claimed the lives of individuals, brief announcements about someone attending a funeral, etc.
Printed copies of obituaries and related information are available by mail for a nominal fee of $5.00 for up to five pages. If in-depth research is required, a fee of $10.00 per hour is charged. Arrangements for payment must be agreed upon before information will be mailed. Checks should be sent to the Wilson Historical Museum.
