About the Extracts
Many months were spent by myself and other volunteers on an obituary
transcription project for the Dillon Library covering the years 1903
through
1939. For those years transcriptions of the
obituaries we found are available by email. However, after 1939
you will need to check the index to see if the obituary you would like
has been
transcribed. The link to the index: Index
of Selected Obituary Transcriptions
For those doing African American research I have marked the known extracts with the symbol (AA). If you do a search with that symbol all those so marked should come up.
A note of
interest: I was told that Oak Grove Baptist Church mentioned in many of
the
obituaries has undergone many name changes and is presently Little
Bless
Holiness Church.
