My cousin gave me copies of the obituaries she cut out of the papers back in
1985. She wasn't sure if they were from the Troublesome Times or the
Mountain Eagle. I have started to transcribe them, and thought I'd share
them since some many of you have shared so much that has been helpful to me.
I'll keep at them, a few a day until I'm finished.
