OBITUARY INDEXESThe staff at Carnegie History Center in Bryan, Texas is abstracting information from "The Eagle". “The Eagle” website currently maintains obituaries online for the past 365 days from the current date. The Index of Obituaries for 2006-2008 was prepared by Dan Castillo, member of Research Ramblers. The current year is also being indexed by Dan Castillo. An Index for prior years is being prepared by various members of Research Ramblers. You may search the following lists and then possibly find the obituary on the links below. Tip: When researching on the links to "The Eagle", type in the full name in the search box and enclose the name in quotes, i.e. "John Smith".
Obituaries more than two years old are also archived on microfilm at the Bryan Public Library. When researching someone in the index after the obituaries have been moved to the Bryan Library, the researcher can ascertain a newspaper date to look up.

*An asterisk indicates an estimated date or information that was obtained from other sources such as the Social Security Death Index or the Texas Birth or Death Indexes.. Since the abstractors did not always note the full reference of the item as to page, column and microfilm roll number and since the names of the early newspapers were not always identified clearly, the indexers have tried to indicate the data source to the best of their ability. Since the local newspaper was published at various times on a weekly basis or daily basis and the name changed from Bryan Weekly Eagle to Bryan Morning Eagle and then Bryan Eagle and at times the publications were concurrent, it was not an easy task to identify the exact source. Given the date of publication, however, the staff at Carnegie History Center should be able to locate the reference. If a copy of the actual newspaper article is desired, the staff at the Carnegie History Center will attempt to locate the article and will make a copy for a fee.
