-- J --
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.

Jonesboro Evening Sun – [JES], Jonesboro Daily Tribune – [JDT], Jonesboro Weekly Sun – [JWS], Craighead County Sun – [CCS]. The number following these abbreviations [ie: JES-85] 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.

Other abbreviations used:
L/P – Local & Personal Column, SS – Snap Shots At Home News (local & personal), LN/day – Local News (of the weekday), b/a – buried at, d/a – died at, f/a – funeral at, s/t – remains shipped to, KIA – Killed in Action, WWI – World War One death or casualty, 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.
