I had these obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant cousin) that
lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already entered in my
computer. The problem with these is that there are very few actual dates
given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names written
beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in on the
obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you, please
let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other information for
you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and possibly a newspaper
name, also.
