Southampton County Historical Society {SCHS} Cemetery Project: http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/cemeteries/psanx3.txt *"The Tidewater News" was stored in the attic of the TN building for years before the LVA copied them. There is a line running through the print at the top and middle of many of the papers and it effected many of the obits. I've put elipses for the part that's missing. If it's obvious what's said, I've tried to fill it in.
