Death notices and obituaries often tell something about the life of the dead person such as where born or when immigrated, the profession followed, where lived, war service, etc. They may also mention the names of spouse, children, and other relatives and when they died or that they are still living at the time of the notice. All this can be helpful in guiding further research, or simply as additional information about a family member.
