Hi Melissa, Glad you like the site! You know, I've already noticed that you post quite a bit of information yourself and I think it's great that you are a ROAGK volunteer. I was one briefly while I lived in Memphis, but I had to stop as family life got too demanding.

Hi everyone, Just wanted to share that I have created a blog to which I will post information from the Nashville Globe, a black newspaper published in Nashville from 1906-1960. I am being selective, but I just discovered this paper over the weekend and I thought it would be a good project for contributing to the genealogy of Davidson County and surrounding areas. I hope some of the information posted is helpful to someone. Please let me know what you think! http://nashvilleglobe.blogspot.com

Eugene spent some time here when he was 12. I was wondering what kind of place it was and how it was run. He is listed as an inmate. Nill S. Walker is listed as commander in 1930 Davidson Co. TN Census.

Mary, thanks. Since he was born and raised in Minneapolis, there might be something in that paper, which I will check.

Thomas William Pate die Apr 27 1897 in Davidson Co. Would appreciate it if someone could look up his obit. There wasn't Death Certificates then was there? Help Thanks Helen

There were death records for Nashville beginning in 1871. They don't give much information until after 1900, just a line in a ledger book with name, date of death, place of residence, place of burial, sex, race and age, and attending doctor. No parents or spouse names. If a person lived in the county but died in the city in a hospital he might have a certificate filed. Not all doctors took the time to file the death record. Metro Archives staff will check the death index at no charge for a specific person. http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~nashvillearchives/researchpolicy.html You may want to check the obits online from the THE NASHVILLE CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE: http://www.tngenweb.org/records/davidson/ --- Helen Pate Ross <[email protected]> wrote: > Thomas William Pate die Apr 27 1897 in Davidson Co. Metro Archives - Nashville and Davidson County, TN: www.metroarchivesfriends.com

Maybe his obit was in a different paper. I have a lot of relatives in Nashville and only two appeared in the paper, both transplantees to Georgia.

I only found an obit for one Richard Johnson in 2006 and he died in Feb. Everyone doesn't have an obit these days, they cost a lot. Also if he lived in a community near Nashville, that has it's own newspaper an obit may have been published there and not in the Nashville paper. Nashville has only one major daily paper, the Tennessean. Go to tennessean.com, click obits near upper right corner. There is a search box on the page. There is a small free daily paper that publishes some obits. nashvillecitypaper.com Debie

The Tennessean newspaper would have that obit online.
