It was formed by the merger of Das Christliche Volksblatt, Zur Heimath, and Nachrichten aus der Heidenwelt in 1882. In 1947 it merged with Der Bote, which continues to the present under that name.

This index includes only formal obituaries and death notices, not deaths reported in articles or community correspondence. Children aged 10 and under are not included.

Entries consist of the person's name, year of birth or age in years and months, and the date and page of the issue in which the notice appeared. Women are listed under their maiden names and under all married names. Entries marked with an * are for maiden names. In some cases, husbands' names are listed in parentheses for clarification.

German umlauts are spelled out ae, oe, and ue. The German ß is spelled out as sz.
