How to Find Obituaries and the e-Edition on Sulphur Times Democrat

Updated

On the Sulphur Times Democrat homepage (sulphurtimes.com), obituaries and the digital paper are both reachable from the lower half of the page: the Obituaries section lists recent local death notices with "See obituary" links, and the Today's e-Edition link opens the digital version of the paper. No login or subscription step is shown on the homepage for either feature, so you can start from the homepage and follow the section labels directly.

Finding Obituaries

The homepage carries an Obituaries block near the bottom of the page, under the weather widget and Facebook link. It works as a short preview list rather than a full archive:

  • Each entry shows the person's name followed by a See obituary link.
  • A View more link at the end of the list leads to additional obituaries beyond the ones previewed.
  • Recent names shown on the page include Frances Marie Diacon, Christi Jean Hunter, Bobby Joe Grinstead, Alvin (Sonny) Harrison, Sharon Van Fennell, and Laura Lee Holman.

Steps to reach a full obituary:

  1. Open sulphurtimes.com.
  2. Scroll past the news and sports blocks to the Obituaries heading.
  3. Select See obituary next to the name you want.
  4. Expected result: the full obituary page for that person opens.
  5. If the name you need isn't in the preview list, select View more to see the extended list.

Common snag: the homepage block only shows a handful of recent notices. If you're looking for an older obituary, start with View more rather than assuming it isn't on the site.

Opening Today's e-Edition

The Today's e-Edition link sits in the same lower area of the homepage, next to the weather panel. It is labeled as today's edition, which means it points to the current digital paper rather than a browsable archive of past issues.

Steps:

  1. From the homepage, locate the Today's e-Edition link.
  2. Select it.
  3. Expected result: the digital edition of the current paper opens for reading.

What to expect: the homepage presents this as a single "today's" entry. If you need a back issue, the homepage doesn't show a visible archive path, so the e-edition link is best treated as a way to read the current issue, not to search past ones.

Practical Notes

  • Both features are reached from the homepage itself, so you don't need to hunt through a separate menu.
  • The obituary preview and the e-edition link are separate sections; finding one doesn't require using the other.
  • The homepage shows a subscribe reference in its pricing signals, but no subscription or login requirement is stated for viewing obituaries or the e-edition link, so try the direct links first before assuming access is restricted.
  • If a link doesn't respond, reload the homepage and try again — the sections sit below several rotating news and sports carousels, and the page can take a moment to settle.
