The Mason City Globe Gazette year 1995 archive

Cerro Gordo County, Iowa


These obituaries are our very early work at preparing obituaries for the internet. These obituaries may or may not be as they appeared in the Mason City Globe Gazette.  Obituaries often repeated two, three and sometimes even more times in subsequent editions of the Globe Gazette. Each printing reflected a correction or change someone felt was necessary. PAF-Ways founding president Kermit Kittleson invested a labor of love during this early period combining multiple obituaries to read as one. He did a good and faithful job. The date used should not necessarily be considered the publication date but should be considered "circa" or about the time the obituary appeared.
