Biblical Recorder Obits

Obituaries for Guilford County in the Biblical Recorder
(Baptist Newspaper – Raleigh)

These were found at Wake Forest College, arranged and alphabetized by the Gen. Soc. of Utah (no date).  Some people are not Baptist; some names have other affiliations noted.  This is a transcription of a transcription, so there may be errors.  Some people are listed twice with different dates of death, probably due to publication dates of different newspapers. The earliest date is shown.  Page numbers are from Vol. I: 1834-1877. Copyright ® Sue Ashby- June 2011

County Coordinator’s Note: I have discovered that these are publication dates and not death dates.
