Are there abstracts of obituaries for 1928? Since Dee L. ELKINS was reported as having died in Weakley CoTn in 1928, I am hoping his obituary might also have been published in a Weakley CoTn newspaper. He may have been a magistrate for Weakley and/or Gibson counties. Thank you for your help. Linda Dee L. Elkins, or D.L. Elkins, or Dee Lafayette Elkins died 11 FEB 1928 TN According to his obituary in "The Lexington Progress", Lexington, Henderson Co. TN, he died at his home in WEAKLEY CoTn, 3 miles from Humbolt, Gibson Co. TN I found him with his family on 1920 CROCKETT CO TN CENSUS, DISTRICT 2. He was a Magistrate in CROCKETT CO.TN 13 JUL 1923 Source: http://www.rootsweb.com/~tncrocke/newspapers/bs7-13-1923.html Crockett County Sentinel - July 13, 1923 ---QUARTERLY COUNTY COURT PROCEEDINGS; JULY TERM--- The July term of the Crockett County Court convened Monday, July 2nd, with all the Magistrates present, except four--Esq. , D.
