Dula Scherrman Memorial Endowment for Dyersville Area Historical Society

The Endowment supports the obituary collection. They have 147 binders that have copies of approximately 36,000 obituaries from late 1890's. If you are doing genealogy research and your family has ties to the Dyersville Area they probably have their obituary. They also have this collection microfilmed to preserve them. The information from the obituary is also entered into the Family Tree Maker database they have on their office computer to aid in family research. This obituary collection was created by Dula Scherrman and other volunteers over the years. This is a valuable asset to anyone wanting information about family members
