Not all of the obituaries include all of the information in the written obituary. Most obituaries were very brief and, in some cases, the death was just mentioned. I tried to be as diligent as I could, but as I am not a professional it is likely that I have missed some deaths or made some mistakes. All issues of the paper came out on Friday. Some deaths are listed more than once. LIST OF NAMES INCLUDED: Alexander, Amason-2, Anderson-3, Andrew, Appling, Arnold.
