This index includes obituaries from the Knoxville Journal [Knoxville, Tennessee] from 1885-1906. Information may include surname, date the obituary was published, and the page number. Given name(s), age, and/or county/state of death may also be included. Many obituaries do not include first names but usually have another identifier, such as Mr., Mrs., child, infant, daughter, or son. Many obituaries also reference people who had a connection to Knoxville but died outside of Knox County or Tennessee.
Please contact the Calvin M. McClung Historical Collection by phone, mail, or email to request a copy of the obituary. There is a $3.00 fee for up to three obituaries, which may be sourced from either of the two Knoxville obituary databases.
