Trempealeau County, WI Obituary Listing, 1947 Obits from the Whitehall Times Contributed for use in USGenWeb Archives by Scott Thomson ellenle@pacbell.net (Ellen English) USGENWEB NOTICE: In keeping with our policy of providing free genealogy information on the Internet, data may be freely used by non-commercial entities, as long as this message remains on all copied material. These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organizations." Persons or organizations desiring to use this material for purposes other than as stated above, must contact the submitter or the listed USGenWeb archivist. 1947 obits from the 'Whitehall Times' 1) All places of residence for the deceased are Wisconsin, unless otherwise noted. 2) Where possible, the deceased's native area, if different from the place of residence/death, is listed in parentheses. 3) Maiden names of women are listed wherever they are available. Given names of women sometimes were not provided in obituaries supplied to the paper, especially in earlier years. 4) Death dates, age at death, etc., were not always given in the obituary, and in those cases the information in this index is estimated. Those cases are generally noted with a question mark (?). 5) Generally, obituaries were provided by the funeral home or the family, and thus the accuracy of the information contained in them was beyond the control of the newspaper. In the case of errors/omissions, corrections sometimes were run, but may not have been found by the compiler of this index. Copies of the Whitehall Times are available on microfilm at the Whitehall Public Library, the Wisconsin State Historical Society and perhaps other places. Bound volumes of editions later than 1940 are available for public viewing, during regular business hours, at The Times' office.
