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.
