These abstracts of death reports are an excellent resource. Though the newspapers are based in Tennessee, there are death notices from all over the country: Abstracts from Reported Deaths from The Nashville Christian Advocate (from mid-1800's to early 1900's); Genealogical Tidbits from The Memphis Daily Appeal during the Centennial Year of 1876. There are also miscellaneous records from Madison, Carrol, Chester, Henderson and other TN counties. THE WORKS OF JONATHAN K. T.
