The Longmont Ledger no longer provides local obituaries. However, historical obituaries published by the Longmont Ledger can be found in either of 2 locations, by year:
- 1879-1935: Longmont Genealogical Society website
- 2009-2013: GenealogyBank.com
Beginning with its founding as one of Longmont’s first newspapers in 1879, the Longmont Ledger provided local obituaries and death notices, as well as birth and marriage information. As the newspaper changed hands in the 20th century, obituaries were stopped. During a brief period from 2009-2013, the Longmont Ledger once again published death notices. Now, as a digital magazine, the Ledger does not publish obituaries.
