Wharton County Obituaries
Below you will find various obituaries we have come across in old newspapers or scrapbooks etc., that we find in the archives room.
On some of the obituary pages you will find death certificates of that person.
In the "Notes" column you will see "DC" which means we have included a copy of the death certificate on the page. We do not have them for all obituaries, just some of them.
This is not a certified copy and you will have to order one from the State of Texas to have a "certified" one. These are only put on these pages for their genealogical value.

The obituaries below are African Americans who died in Wharton County. Because African American research is so difficult once you get to a certain point, we are listing any obituaries we find when going through old newspapers. If you are researching make sure you check the cemetery pages.
