Here's some temporary information for those of you interested in lookups in Desmond Walls Allen's set of books called "Arkansas Death Index." Hopefully Linda will have a permanent lookup volunteer for the Marion County web page in the near future. In the meantime, this might be helpful. There are folks on the AR Family History Association email list that have these books and will do lookups from them. You'll have to subscribe to the list just as you did for this one. The email address is AFHA-L@rootsweb.com It's important to understand that these indices begin in 1914. That's when the state required deaths to be reported to Little Rock. For many, many years after that folks often didn't have the capabilities to report these deaths - no coroner, no funeral homes, no doctors, no formal cemeteries - just burial plots, no hospitals, etc. Usually lookups volunteers ask that each request be for no more than one or two deaths - like a husband and wife. So be kind to them <grin>. Remember, please, NO DEATHS BEFORE 1914.
