Obituary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 57, 1950 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1950. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday in Beresford, South Dakota. The first 25 issues of 1950 were listed as No. 28-52 of Volume 54, the remainder were No. 1-24 of Volume 55. 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. 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. The Mar 9 issue of 1950 was the last to feature the long-running "Town Talk" column. The following week, this column was published under the title, "News Briefs About Your Friends and Neighbors." In the Mar 23 issue, this column made its first appearance under the new title, "YOU... and Your Friends." The contents of the column remained unchanged; but, the decades-old "Town Talk" title was retired and replaced. The column was essentially a collection of brief news items about what people in the community were doing. Most of the items were about relatively trivial events; but on occasion, they were about more significant events, such as deaths in the family.
