Newspapers

Information was abstracted from old (Surviving) Georgia newspapers. The deceased is listed first, date of death, place, born (if information given), parents, and spouse. The last designation is the name of the newspaper. The oldest newspapers in the State of Georgia failed to provide much data. There is not always a Mb.M (born) preceding the second date listed. The first date is the date of death, and the second date is the date of birth. Standard abbreviations apply:

• b. = Born
• Bro. = Brother
• d. = Died
• Exr. = Executor
• Extrx. = Executrix
• F-i-l = Father-in-law
• L/A = Letters of Administration
