Tuesday Tip: Altoona Mirror Obituary Index

Altoona Mirror Obituary Index

This obituary index covers obituaries published since 1929 in The Altoona Mirror newspaper in Altoona, Pennsylvania. The price is $3.00 per photocopy page and includes the cost of shipping and handling. The online index makes it easy for you to find your correct person(s), and the turn around time is fast. 

I was able to locate a number of my PATTILLO line, that had moved to the Pennsylvania area. All requests must be sent in writing and must include the name(s) of the deceased exactly as they are listed in the index, the date(s) listed in the index and payment by cash, check or money order.
