There is no master list or index of Quaker obituaries. The only one on
line is my own compilation of obituaries and death notices in the American
Friend from 1894 to 1960. Here is the URL:
http://www.earlham.edu/library/content/friends/obituaries/index.html
The best resource is Quaker Necrology, compiled by staff at Haverford
Collegeand published in 1961. It includes obituaries from the four main
Quaker periodicals in Philadelphia from 1927 to 1960. All were national
in the coverage, not limited just to Philadelphia Friends. It is
available only in book form.
Finally, there is an abstract of obituaries in the Christian Worker, a
Quaker weekly published in New Vienna, Ohio, and Chicago between 1871 and
1894. It is a typescript, never formally published, but available in some
of the Quaker college libraries.
