NEWSPAPERS

Local Newspaper - Courier-Times/Person County Life

The local newspaper for the Roxboro / Person County area formerly called the Courier-Times is now called "Person County Life", and as is the case with many newspapers nowadays, requires an online subscription for most content, however, current obituaries are still free. Check with the website, and click onto the "News" tab at the top of the page, then "Obituaries" from the scroll-down menu. 

Durham Newspaper - Herald-Sun

The newspaper in adjacent Durham, the Herald-Sun, publishes many Person County obituaries. This newspaper charges to post all obituaries, so all deaths do not result in an obituary; however, currently posted obituaries are free to view.
