Columbia, South Carolina Obituaries, 1859-77

Description (from source site)
Records of deaths in the southern states during the American Civil War are an important source of information for researchers of Confederate soldiers. Due to the nature of war, however, records were destroyed and information lost. This database of obituaries from the Columbia, South Carolina area can help alleviate frustration relative to unavailable records. Covering the years 1859-1877, it contains over 1500 names of persons who died in South Carolina. Most of these persons were residents of the state, but a few were from surrounding states, making this valuable not only to those looking for residents of South Carolina.
