Scrapbook From Early 1900’s Provides Over 100 Newton County
Obituaries
The person who created this scrapbook
made notations of dates under each obit. However, some of the death dates, and the inscribed dates
do not coincide, therefore, it will be up to the researcher to delve into the correct dates.
In order to copy all of
the obituaries, it was necessary to make multiple copies of pages. I have “x” out repeat information. Some of
the pages were in bad shape, and were frayed along the edges, therefore losing some
text.
There are two interesting
photographs in this scrapbook as well. One of early settlers of Jasper County, which also appeared in “Jasper
and Newton Counties, 1916;” and of the first courthouse for Jasper and Newton Counties.
These photos and names are also indexed.
