It is indeed a powerful index to local names.
The Library cannot guarantee every reference will be full of good information or even unique information.
This project was finished in 2004 and added over 100,000 names and newspaper citations to the obituary index.
In August 2003, the Northwest Ohio Library District (NORWELD) made it possible for 12 of its member libraries to join the Hayes Presidential Center and enter their obituary citations into the Obituary Index making this a truly regional resource.

Hayes Presidential Library’s Obituary Index- History and Scope
Beginnings:
Started in the 1970's on cards, the obituary card file indexed death notices and some marriage notices from local newspapers. See the map on the top page of the web site for all the partner libraries.
We have attempted to list all the volunteers who have worked on the project at Hayes over the 30 past years. We will do this only if you send us a copy of the paper article showing the discrepancy. Sometimes that means that an obit reference is just a one-liner saying the person died or a marriage notice.
The Library staff cannot look up several references and send you the best one for the price of one.
Sometimes a person resided in this area, but died in another town or state, so the place of death is not necessarily the place where the person resided.This will be blank if no information on place of death is in the source.
Dates:
Date of death is given. Hayes cannot set a standard fee for copying these items because they can range from one page to fifty or more.
To be thorough, a researcher should check the actual obituary for complete data.

Beginnings
Started in the 1970's on cards, the obituary card file indexed death notices and some marriage notices from local newspapers.
If the item is located at the Hayes Presidential Library, contact the library staff 419/332-2081 or [email protected]) to find out what is available on your individual. If you know of someone who helped and is not listed, please contact [email protected]
Starting in 2001, other libraries started entering their data into this index, so it now extends beyond the holdings of the Hayes Presidential Library.
Scope
In very general terms, in 2001, the index began with newspapers covering the following Ohio towns: Fremont and Clyde – almost complete coverage from the 1840’s to the present; Sandusky, Bellevue, Tiffin – very long runs of indexing, Risingsun, Woodville, Gibsonburg, Oak Harbor – sporadic sections of indexing
The vast majority of the indexing was for Sandusky County, but other counties which appear include Erie, Ottawa, Seneca, Huron, and Wood counties.
In October 2001, entry began of names from the Tiffin Seneca Public Library obituary card catalog.
There are many entries with no death dates and that might signify that the entry is not an obituary. There are thousands of marriage announcements from the newspapers that have been indexed, along with a variety of other sources that do not include a death date, such as wedding anniversaries, military service, family reunions, etc.
If the names and dates are not what you know personally to be true, the library cannot change the original source (the newspaper) to reflect that. Marriage dates are given only when the newspaper citation is for a wedding announcement.
Additional headings (such as father's name, spouse's name, marriage date):
If these fields are not filled in, it most likely is because there was no information in the source. It is also possible that the entry was created from a partner library index which never had these fields--so the capability of including these fields did not exist. To be thorough, a researcher should check the actual obituary for complete data.

Thanks for your help in making this index as accurate as possible.At any time, you can also add a Comment to an individual that can be seen by anyone looking for that name, stating that you are related and would like to correct an inaccurate newspaper article or add additional information in the Comment section – be sure to give your reason for the correction (e.g.
The earliest Fremont, Ohio newspapers were from the 1830’s and have been completed for obituaries up to the current day. However, only a small percentage of the marriages have been indexed - do not use this index as your only search for a marriage.
Additional resources:
Besides obituaries, a variety of other sources have been indexed into this database, mostly from the Hayes Presidential Library.
Examples of these other sources are probate case files, funeral home records, society membership records, biographical files, brief references in history books, etc.
Sometimes two completely different spellings were given in two different papers but it is obvious they are the same person. In the Comment field you can also offer to exchange information.
Explanation of Headings:
Names:
Names were copied exactly as written in the newspapers so researchers should check all possible spellings.
