Obiturary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 21, 1914 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1914. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday. Any information not listed in the fields below was not provided in the original obituaries. In cases where the date of birth is not given, the age at the time of death is given in that field instead, if that information is available in the death notice. And, if neither is given, but the person is known to have been a child or a baby, that is listed in the BIRTH DATE field. In 1914, Beresford, SD still had a second weekly newspaper called "Beresford News," also published every Thursday. It is worth noting that both papers published different obituaries for the same individuals. And, the obituary from one paper sometimes contained information that was absent in the obituary from the other newspaper. However, the following index was compiled only from data found in the "Beresford Republic." 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 [ ]. During the time period when the 1920 "Republics" were published, some death notices were not published as formal obituaries. The ITEM field indicates the area where the death notice appeared. "Town" refers to the section called "Town Talk;" and "Other" refers to some other form of article in the paper besides "Town Talk" or a formal obituary. "Cards" refers to a "Card of Thanks." 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 obituaries. And, a few death notices may have been missed when this index was compiled; since, some were not formal obituaries and were therefore more difficult to locate within the paper due to lack of headlines or titles. This index was compiled by Brian M. Hass. The author of this index does not keep an archive of the obituaries listed. No obituaries were found in issues published on Jan 15, Feb 5, Feb 26, Jun 4, Aug 6, Sep 10, Oct 8, Nov 5, or Dec 31 of 1914.
