This on-going collection of obituaries was started several years ago by the CamWood Genealogical Workshop with recent additions from the Stanwood Area Historical Society's files. It is presented here as a searchable index. The primary source for the collection has been the Stanwood/Camano News published weekly in Stanwood, serving not only Camano Island and Stanwood, but the extreme south-western part of Skagit County as well. The majority of obituaries in the collection dates from the early 1960s to the present. Earlier obituaries have been obtained from the extensive Surname Files at the Stanwood Area Historical Society. As of 3 June 2008, the data base contains about 8800 lines.The Stanwood Area Historical Society has uploaded to the SAHS web site a list of Stanwood area newspapers and where they are held - http://www.sahs-fncc.org/SAHSbib.html .
The CamWood Genealogical Workshop has on file all of the original newspaper clippings of the indexed obituaries. If you should find something that interests you, they'll be happy to make a copy of the obit and mail it to you free of charge; requests should be emailed to Bill Blandin - Blandin @ pobox.com . Donations to the Stanwood Area Historical Society would be appreciated. SAHS' address is PO Box 69, Stanwood, WA 98292.
An ASTERISK after the information in a table cell means that the information was NOT contained in the actual obituary. That additional information may have come from SSDI, relatives, etc.
To correct an entry, add additional information to a data line OR request a copy of an individual obituary, please email Bill Blandin - Blandin @ pobox.com . (Thanks, Bill, for taking the pictures used on these pages!)
About the CamWood Genealogical Workshop Though about 80% of "the CamWoodies" live on Camano Island in Island County, they meet in Stanwood which is in Snohomish County, thus their association with the Snohomish County USGenWeb Project site.
The Workshop has been functioning since 1990 when a few folks decided to get together and talk about their common interest in genealogy. Through the years, membership has grown but has always remained at a level comfortable enough that the group has never abandoned its informal approach to meetings - there isn't even a president! Workshop members meet regularly at 1 o'clock on the second Monday of each month in the Stanwood Area Historical Society Museum. Guests are always welcome!
