The following indexes represent a list of deceased individuals whose notice of death appeared in the weekly Crystal Lake Herald newspaper.  Information was gleaned from obituaries, death notices, police reports, and newspaper articles and is not necessarily limited to residents of Crystal Lake and/or Nunda Township.  It was not unusual for a death notice to appear months and even years after the event, particularly in the case of war dead.  Researchers should scan several indexes when searching for the name of a specific individual and look for variant spellings within each index.  Copies of the obituaries can be obtained by writing to the Illinois State Historical Library, Old State Capitol, Springfield IL  62701.  Microfilm of the original newspaper can be obtained on inter-library loan from the Illinois State Historical Library—contact your local library for further information.
