Obituary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 54, 1947 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1947. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday in Beresford, South Dakota. The first 26 issues of 1947 were listed as No. 27-52 of Volume 51, the remainder were listed as No. 1-26 of Volume 52. For this reason, the numbering of the volumes and issues of the older papers was sometimes inconsistent and unreliable. Publication dates are far more useful than volume and issue numbers for locating issues in which obituaries appeared. 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 married women were listed only by their husbands names. In those cases, the husband's name is listed in the first name field inside [ ]. Some misspellings may have come from the original published obituaries. Every effort was made to transcribe the spellings of names from the way they appeared in obituaries, even if the obituaries spelled the names incorrectly. The Beresford Public Library is authorized to archive copies of this index for use by patrons. This index was compiled by Brian M. Hass. The author of this index does not keep an archive of the obituaries listed. This file may be freely copied by individuals and non-profit organizations for their private use. Any other use, including publication, storage in a retrieval system, or transmission by electronic, mechanical, or other means requires the written approval of the file's author.

Notes: Two obituaries were published for Carl Frick in the Aug 14 issue. The second obituary in the Dalesburg column listed his date of birth as 25 Jan 1889. The Sep 25 issue was the first to feature the "State News Briefs" column, which includes some death notices. According to Jacob Nygaard's obituary, his wife died the year the Germans started invading Norway.
