Death notice index for UNION COUNTY REPUBLIC, Vol. 4, 1897 The following is an index of death notices which were published in the "Union County Republic" (later renamed the "Beresford Republic") in the year 1897. The paper was weekly and was published every Friday. Any information not listed in the fields below was not provided in the original death notices. In cases where the date of birth is not given, the age at the time of death is given in that field instead. Some married women were listed only listed by their husbands names. In those cases, the husband's name is listed in the first name field inside [ ]. As a rule, less formal death notices tended to lack any detailed biographical data on the individual. Therefore, formal obituaries for individuals were indexed here whenever possible; but when none were available, the less formal notices were indexed instead. Some misspellings may have come from the original published notices. In 1897, formal obituries were rarely published and were usually reserved for more famous or prominent people. So, the overwhelming majority of information listed below was gathered from various types of news articles published in the "Republic." In 1897, these articles were not as well organized as they were in later years; so, the information is often not easily located due to the lack of any headlines. In 1897, the "Republic" was more of a regional paper rather than a more localized city paper as it would become in later years. At the time, it also contained some national and world stories as well. As a result, many of the death notices listed were not necessarily from Beresford itself but were often from other locations in South Dakota and were sometimes from more distant locations.
