The Minster Historical Society has free digitized newspapers that can be searched for birth announcements, wedding announcement, obituaries, and more. They are individual pdf files so it takes time to go through them. The Society has an Obituary Index but it is onsite only.

Minster Obituary File Index- The Minster Historical Society and Museum houses a funeral card file collection of over 20,000 names.  This information is very valuable to genealogists and is an extremely busy spot in the Museum. The important information has been extracted from newspaper obituaries and is organized alphabetically in a card catalog. These are available on-site only.
