The Darlington Flag Newsletter
DEATH & MARRIAGES FROM THE DARLINGTON
NEWS, 1890-1895, abstracted
by Robert
M. DeFee...This is the
first of what is expected to be a series of death and marriage
notices from old Darlington District newspapers.
As many South Carolina genealogical
researchers know, generally speaking death certificates and
marriage licenses did not
begin until the 20th century.
Not only has DeFee included notices of deaths and
marriages, he has also included legal notices, engagement
announcements, and
several spectacular events including accounts of the
Darlington Riot. This publication
takes on an additional importance considering the loss of the
1890 Census. The word
“abstracted” is certainly a misnomer when applied to this
publication. Each notice
and article is 100% complete giving complete names and
numerous details. Soft
cover, Library of Congress Number 99-070103, © 1999, 344
pp., index. PRICE: $30.00
plus $4.00 shipping for first book, and
$1.50 for each
additional book.
