    Research Services by Library Staff:

      We provide an obituary request service for the general public. For a small fee we will access our local newspaper, The Sun-News, on microfilm, and search for the requested obituary. We charge $5.00 for the first half hour of research and $10.00 for every hour there-after. In addition to the research fee we also charge 20 cents for each copy made and the cost of a first class postage. We will only post (US mail) obituaries domestically.

      We cannot guarantee that we will locate the obituary requested, although the research fee will still apply. Therefore, the patron should specify how much they are willing to spend prior to the request being carried out. E-mail your requests to vjmohr@lowden.lib.ia.us or call 563-941-7629.

      Checks or money order should be made out to

      Friends of Lowden Library
      P.O. Box 307
      Lowden, IA 52255

      When it is received, we will make the copies and mail them to you.
