Why this blog?

My Grandmother had the odd habit of cutting out random obituaries from local newspapers around Lake Preston, SD. This blog contains those old obits. None are dated, they are typed exactly as they appeared in her scrapbook. If they can help any family historians out there I will be happy. I will title them with the decedant's name.

Nice job with this blog. It's great to see someone sharing info that might be of use to someone else - and I say this both as a recipient and a provider of similar information. I did not find a family connection (my family is all over eastern South Dakota) but enjoyed the reading nonetheless.

Thank you so much! I inherited family photos, journals, etc from my mother. Her great-grandfather is William Nelson Berry. I appreciate having access to this info.
