Here are some more of the obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant
cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already.
Remember that the problem with these is that there are very few actual
dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names
written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in
on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you,
please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other
information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and
possibly a newspaper name, also.

        Mrs. Willie J. Phillips, aged 73 years, died at the home of her daughter
in Sardis, Miss., early Sunday morning, November 6, after a brief illness.
Mrs. Phillips was born in Sharp county and spent most of her life at
Williford, being the widow of the late James W. Phillips.  She is survived
by two daughters, Mrs. W.H. Grist of Sardis, Miss., and Mrs. Lewis Beckwith
of Chicago, Ill.; two sons, M.W. Phillips of Imboden and G.F. Phillips of
Iowa Park, Texas; and one sister, Mrs. W. J. Hatcher of Imboden.
        Funeral services were conducted at the Williford Methodist church Tuesday,
November 7, at 3 p.m. by the Rev. E.B. Williams of Paragould, Ark. Burial
was in the Williford cemetery in charge of Higginbotham Funeral Home.
