Karen - Each of the above entries are merely the date of an edition of the Luxemburger Gazette and the page number in that edition where a reference to Brown County was made. There is no particular reason to believe that these are obituary dates... though I would guess that similar entries often occurred on similar page numbers. I recall that I was once told that page 5 was often used to announce arrivals of new immigrants, but it could also be a page where obits are listed too. Tom
