Obituary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 47, 1940 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1940. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday in Beresford, South Dakota. The first 26 issues of 1940 were listed as No. 27-52 of Volume 44, the remainder were No. 1-26 of Volume 45. However, this numbering scheme was inconsistent with that of issues published during the paper's earliest years. And, many years later, an editor noticed this problem and began a numbering scheme based on that of those earliest issues; but, the newer scheme started the volumes at the beginning of the calendar years. For purposes of simplicity, the volume number listed for this index is based on the later numbering scheme. Because of the inconsistencies of the volume and issue numbers, publication dates are more important. 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. The date listed with an asterisk is a funeral date; because, a date or year of death was not listed in the obituary. A surname with an asterisk represents the name of an individual whose date of death was listed within the obituary of another individual. Some misspellings may have come from the original published obituaries. The Beresford Public Library is authorized to archive copies of this index for use by patrons.
