All readable data of genealogical interest has been included. Tributes, ranging from one line to several paragraphs, are not included. There are some issues missing and many unreadable pages, particularly among the 1882 issues. Beginning with Volume 8 only the Volume, Issue and Date are listed as a finding aid. For 1880 and early 1881 the paper consists of more than four unnumbered pages. Most, but not all death notices are on the page containing "Local Topics" and its location varies from inside pages to the front page. In 1881 the paper reverts to four pages and most death notices are on page 3. Bracketed locations such as (Sulphur Springs) indicate the location of the correspondent reporting the death and are likely the place of death. =============================================================== =============== ADAIR, Mrs. Emma, mother of R.

"Duttie" BRYANT. Later newspaper articles report that an arrest was made of one E.V. Slay. E.V.Slay was married to the half-sister of Duttie, Mary Ray Slay. I've not been able to find any further documentation. The family verbal history is that Mr. Argo was killed by two and maybe three of his brother-in-laws, E.V. Slay; my grandfather, William James Bryant; and perhaps the half-brother to Duttie and William, Nathaniel George Austin "Babe" Ray. No one was brought to justice. Most of the family, plus my great- grandmother Nancy Caroline Lanier Bryant Ray moved to Blount County, AL within a month of the murder. The only ones that I cannot confirm in the move are E.V. and Mary Slay. If anyone has further details, please share them. One legal theory is that since it was inside a family and maybe had cause, law enforcement turned their backs and permitted the escape of those arrested.
