Obituary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 104, 1997 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1997. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday in Beresford, South Dakota. The 1997 index covers No. 1-52 of Volume 104. 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. 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.
