What was the paper called before 1920? -----Original Message----- From: Martha Mendez [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 07, 2005 9:53 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [TNBEDFOR] Crimes against Law Officers Hi Lisa, This was probably reported in the Nashville Tennessean. If you get a change to go to Tennessee State Library and Archives. I find a LOT of information that way. I also take the index to the death records and then look up the obit. Since they give the counties it makes it SO MUCH easier. Nashville Tennessean. Ja 19 1920 - present. d. Continues Nashville Tennessean And The Nashville American.
