New on the Archives tonight, thanks to the efforts of Tim Hudson, the following obits from the 1880's: Infant son of Wm. F. & Barbara Leimkuhler, 5 Feb 1885 Carrie Selig, 27 Feb 1885 Henry Clark, 20 Mar 1885 Anderson Stucky, 3 Apr 1885 V. A. Rabun, 10 Apr 1885 Henry Jones, 17 Apr 1885 Williamson Bird, 29 May 1885 David Brigham Trousdale, 8 Jul 1885 George Gunby, 12 Feb 1889 William Turnage, 4 May 1889 Some of these obits are long and flowery, while others are only one brief sentence. Tim says that if everyone thinks this is a useful endeavor, he will continue to transcribe. Let's get some feedback for Tim, folks. Here's mine: Never believe what you're told about "missing records," because somewhere out there is a goldmine like the one Tim unearthed. I was told, by a nameless archive keeper at a nameless LA college, that the article I have posted on W.P. Mabry's death was from the only surviving issue of the "Home Advocate," so I quit looking. Thanks to Tim, I have more information now, and it's quite clear that a LOT of issues survived!
