Does the Library have an obituary file?
Not exactly; the closest is a card file in the Grosvenor Room called the Local History File. It is a newspaper index and lists articles about people, places, things and events in Buffalo . It is most comprehensive for the 1930 – 1982 period. It includes obituaries, but not death notices. A person has the best chance of being included if he or she was a well-known citizen who passed away before 1982. The Library has no source that lists all deaths in Buffalo or Erie County .
