Obituaries
Information below came from a book that consisted of clippings found in two
scrapbooks. They come from a newspaper in Cowden called, The Reflector. Counties
included Shelby, parts of Effingham, Fayette, Christian, and a few others.
Most of the obituaries are very detailed. Women's maiden names are included.
Most have birth dates and where born; when they married, who they married and
where married; when and where they died, surviving spouses, children, family
members and what cemetery they are buried in.
If you are interested in any of the following obituaries, you can email a
request to
Linda
Lang. Please put "The Reflector Obituaries" in the subject line. Also, the
Shelby Historical and Genealogical Society can help (see Resouces for contact
information).
