This index includes obituaries from two Knoxville, Tennessee, newspapers—the Knoxville Journal in 1991 (after which it ceased publication) and the Knoxville News Sentinel from 1991-present. There can be up to a 4 month delay in adding to the database. Information may include surname, given and additional names (middle name, maiden name), age, and the date of the most complete obituary published in the newspaper. Residents of surrounding counties frequently appear in Knoxville newspapers.
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.
