OBITUARIES FOR CHATHAM COUNTY IN THE "BIBLICAL RECORDER". (Baptist Newspaper - Raleigh)

Copyright ® Sue Ashby- June 2011

These were found at Wake Forest College, arranged and alphabetized by the Gen. Soc. of Utah (no date) It is now in the NC State Archives, in Raleigh, NC. It is not online on the archives web site.

Some of the folks are not Baptist. some names have another religious affiliation. If the affiliation was unknown, it is not noted.

You should know that:

1. This is an abstract of the obituary notices. Even, the original is not a full extraction.

2. This is a transcription of a transcription that may have been itself transcribed, who knows?. So, it may not be entirely correct. I have proofed them as well as I can. I know some of the spellings are a bit off. But, have left them as is.

3. I found some of the people are listed twice with a little bit of difference in the dates of death, which I attribute to a date of publication of the event possibly in different newspapers. So, I used the earliest date found.

4. I've included the page no. on which the name is found. So, you will have complete citation. If, I have notes on something I have info about, the notes are in red Italics
