New Mexico Obituaries

Obituaries is it is believed came about the advent and popularization of the printing press circa 16th century. The first obituaries were concise, simply containing the deceased name, birth date, death date, and cause of death, family that is surviving and those that died before them. In the 19th century London newspapers began publishing them, recognizing a person’s death as a solemn and important event that needed more than just a short announcement. As a result, obituaries grew in length and elaboration, containing short prayers, poems, and brief biographies. This practice still exists today, and with the listing of family and extended family can be a source to obtain additional information. Just be sure to check the family information.
