Ohio: General Information

Ohio was the home of the first ambulance and the first fire department in the United States. Ohio is the fourth-largest state in the United States in terms of land area. It has an area of 116096 km², and the largest cities are Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Toledo. The state capital is Columbus.

The chemical industry, tourism and agriculture are well developed in Ohio. Thus we can conclude that the vast majority of the country's adult population works in these fields or in those areas which are connected with them.

Ohio: The People

While Ohio is thirty-fourth in size, it is seventh in population. In 2020 Ohio had a population of more than 11,800,000 people and more than 124,264 deaths. This state is also recognized by the huge number of celebrities born here, who became famous not only in the United States, but also outside the states. You know many of them: Edwin Kemble, Rowland Sherwood, Hayes Rutherford Burchard and many other famous people.

But Ohio is not just famous for its celebrities. The state is also home to a great number of people who all have their own stories to tell. Finding out a public person's story is easy: just search the internet and you'll find all the information you need. With non-public people, everything is somewhat more complicated: about them not so much information in the public domain, but it still is. For example, using search services, you can learn the history of the deceased person and find his obituary.

Obituaries: what they are and how to use them

An obituary is a kind of plaque of a person. Obituaries can be brief or more detailed. As a rule, brief obituaries contain information about the person: sex, name and surname, date of birth and death, place of birth and death, the person's age. In more expanded versions to the basic information is added information about where the person lived, what he did, what was his family and other information.

Such obituaries you can find on our site.

How do I search for an obituary?

Considering that Ohio is the thirty-fourth largest state, it can still take a long time to find a dead person. It is possible to reduce this time if you build a proper search system right away.

The first thing to pay attention to and that can help you is to have as much accurate information about the person as possible. Naturally, the first and last name is the most important, but you may also need information such as place of residence, place of work and date of death.

Second, you can check available online databases of obituaries. Search engines can help you with this.

A more complicated way is to try to find a newspaper that may have published information about the deceased person. But it is desirable to know the city and even the area where the person lived, to narrow down the search.

There is a way that combines all three: you can go to one of the public libraries in Ohio. Libraries are staffed by professionals who can advise you on how to conduct a proper search. Many libraries have information about people who died more than two centuries ago.

You can use the state filter on this site to find information about people who have died in that state. You can also filter by first and last name, city, and date of death.
