Sharon, The Southern Democrat is now the Blount Countian. There is a gentleman in the basement of the Blount County Court House that is an Archivist and has all of the old records there. The number for the Blount Countian is (205)625-3231. Good luck.

I live on the West Coast. Can anyone tell me how to obtain copies of obits placed in the Southern Democrat in the early 1900's. I had hoped to find them on the Web, but thus far have found only an index. Thank you. Sharon Smith-Karam
