Julie - when you say the newspapers are at the library - which one? Thanks, Deb Arapa

Deb Sorry... The Wartburg Library in the genealogy room. They have the original newspapers starting in 1916 and also have most of them on microfilm. Of course most of the original copies are kinda fragile.. I do have a couple of books I put together with obits from these papers. Morgan County Newspaper Obituaries, Vol. I, 1916-1934; and Vol II, 1935-1940. Obituaries way back then were not like today's obits. Most of the time there was only a small notation in the community columns telling about a death and precious little other information. Such as " Mrs. "So & So" passed away yesterday". So, it was hunt and search the newspaper, column by column, to even find the notice.Vol. I contains several murders and other 'interesting' events and is interesting reading besides the information from obituaries. I verified some of the dates from the cemetery book and some of the deaths are not even recorded in the cemetery book. Possibly because no stone or marker was ever placed. I have still have a few copies that would make nice Christmas gifts. Email me for more details Sorry folks, didn't mean to rattle on..... ;o) Julie Dar224@aol.com wrote: >Julie - when you say the newspapers are at the library - which one? >Thanks, >Deb Arapa > > >==== TNMORGAN Mailing List ==== > WHAT'S NEW on the Morgan County pages >http://www.tngenweb.org/morgan/WHATSNEW.html > >============================== >To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: >http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > > >
