Transcribed and shared by Carolyn Gibbons
Posted July 05, 2007 by Myrtle Bridges
"These abstracts include all of the marriages and deaths especially marked in the
Fayetteville Observer for the years 1851 through 1854. I have also included items from
the news part of the paper, abstracting, whenever names were mentioned, fires, homicides,
accidents and illnesses.
I am sure there are errors although I have tried to avoid any; if anyone finds something
that is in error, please notify me, and I will correct the item.
I have, whenever possible included for the women Miss or Mrs., and I have indexed married
women by maiden name when it can be inferred, such as when she was noted as the daughter
of someone.
The key I used for the various items is:
D Death; any person mentioned in the item will be marked in the index with a D.
F Fire; these items usually include only property damage but do name people and/or business.
Any person mentioned in the item will be marked in the index with an F.
I Illness/Injury; any person mentioned in the item will be marked in the index with an I.
M Marriage; any person mentioned in the item will be marked in the index with an M." Carolyn
