As of January 1, 2023, There will be no more free death notices in any of the Columbiana County newspapers. (Salem News, Morning Journal and E. Liverpool Review) The Youngstown Vindicator will still offer free death listings and service announcements.  Our county papers will now be charging $ 25.00 for a death notice in each  paper it appears.  The obituary can be written and placed in any paper for a fee, if a picture, there will be another fee with the option of color also.  The fees for the costs of the obituaries have also increased.  We have a copy of the letter to offer for the reading.  WE however, will still have the small ad at the bottom of the page in Salem News to list arrangements at no cost to the families. (If the family wants it announced.)  WE have changed the method of listing the deceased we have in on the website.  They will be posted once we have been given permission by the family.  You however, may place your email address in the system to be notified of a new listing of an obituary.

Robert L. Kinsman 71, of Salem (Formerly of Hubbard) died at 11:10 AM Tuesday, January 3, 2023, in Salem.  No services are planned.
