Death Notices from The Meriwether County Vindicator, Volume 26
- Volume 30, December 3, 1897 - November 28, 1902

In order to maintain an alphabetized format, notices have been
paraphrased in the vernacular of the original. All readable
data of genealogical interest has been included. Tributes,
ranging from one line to several paragraphs, are not included.
There are a few missing issues in these volumes and some pages
are unreadable. Bracketed locations such as (Rocky Mount)
indicate the location of the correspondent reporting the death
and, if not specified, are likely the place of death. 

The Vindicator for November 22, 1901 contains an editorial on
the subject of Obituaries, especially the criticisms received
in regard to same, and ends with the following paragraph:
"While we do the best we can with all notices, print them free
of charge, frequently crowding out other matter, we are often
made target for the shafts of offended critics. We are
comforted often by the reflection that our good friends ought
not to complain."
