A Brief History of the Tribune Star Obituaries

Founded in 1852, the Tribune Star has been a staple of Vigo County journalism for over 160 years. Initially focused on providing local news and information to the rural communities surrounding Terre Haute, the newspaper gradually expanded its coverage to include obituaries, sports, and a range of other topics. By the early 20th century, the Tribune Star had established itself as the leading regional newspaper, publishing an average of 10-15 obituaries per day.

Throughout its history, the Tribune Star has consistently pushed the boundaries of what constitutes a traditional obituary. In the 1920s, the newspaper began publishing large, detailed family trees, providing context and relationships for readers unfamiliar with the deceased.

To honor the tradition of excellence in obituaries, the Tribune Star invites contributions from family members, friends, and relatives of the deceased.
