The first contestant to correctly guess both state and city wins a free souvenir T-shirt from our new town. The first contestant to correctly guess the state wins a free pair of sparkly dangle earrings. Send contest entries, one entry per person, per day, to webmaster@obitcity.com. Put "Obit City Contest" in the subject heading. Contest will remain open until it's won. Employees and volunteers of Obit City are barred from entering, in addition to relatives, close friends and bedmates of the Obit City staff. Everyone else is fair game. Now get busy and win that T-shirt!

See the "Contact" bar above for our e-mail address.

The old Pennsylvania pages have links to the new ones.
4/7: Our online obits are provided free of charge. If you are presented with a pay wall or other demands for money, you are NOT on the Obit City website. You probably clicked on an ad. Thank you very, very much for supporting our sponsors, because that's how we stay online. But please don't mistake them for us. :) Also, the Iowa obituary file was getting too large, so we divided it alphabetically into Iowa A-L and Iowa M-Z.
