INDEX OF OBITUARIES
1901-1910
-- E --
Craighead County, Arkansas



There were several newspapers serving Jonesboro and Craighead county during this decade. Please be sure to include the information in the [brackets] with your request. Obituaries may appear in more than one newspaper.

Daily Times-Enterprise – [DTE], Jonesboro Daily News – [JDN], Jonesboro Daily Tribune – [JDT], Jonesboro Evening Sun – [JES], The County Sun – [TCS], The Evening Sun – [TES], The Jonesboro Sun – [TJS], The Jonesboro Tribune – [TJT], The Sun – [TS], Times Enterprise – [TE], Weekly Times Enterprise – [WTE] The number following these abbreviations [ie: JES-30] is the film number at the Craighead County – Jonesboro [AR] Public Library.

Papers of this era did not have page numbers or date identification other than the front page of the paper. This sometimes causes a disparity in the dates given. It is suggested that when the "0" page number is given that you search the "Locals & Personals" column first as many deaths are reported here. To help find those notices following the 0 (zero) page number the word “Obituary” or “Mangrum news” will indicate to look for a formal obituary or a column of local news for the towns or settlements in Craighead county.

Other abbreviations used:
L/P – Local & Personal Column, SS – Snap Shots At Home News (local & personal), LN/day – Local News (of the weekday), R/R – Resolution of Respect (Lodge notice), SR – The Social Realm column, b/a – buried at, d/a – died at, f/a – funeral at, s/t – remains shipped to, CT – Card of Thanks, (x2) – indicates 2 notices possibly but not necessarily on the same page.

This index includes those described as critically ill or not expected to live.

Following the newspaper / film number is the cemetery when indicated, or the last disposition of the body (either where the death occurred or where it was shipped for interment). If just the name of a cemetery is given it is in Craighead County.
