Here are a few of the obituaries of relatives I have seen. Some have
been scanned in and others have had to be typed in. I will add others as
I run across them. I also have a couple that I need the name and dates
of the newspapers that they appeared in. Obituaries can help quite a bit
in researching your ancestors and finding out what they may have been like.
(Both of these obituaries appeared for my great-grandfather. His name was James Monroe Bridges. They made quite a few large errors on his first obituary. It was reprinted the following week without ever mentioning the error.
