Obituary of Patrick Brady, Lawrence Co, AR *********************************************************** Submitted by: Regina Creekmore Weaver<weave@intellinet.com> Date: 5 Aug 2001 Copyright. All rights reserved. http://www.usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm *********************************************************** I had these obits from a scrapbook of a lady (a distant cousin) that lived in the Jesup, Lawrence County area of Arkansas already entered in my computer. The problem with these is that there are very few actual dates given for the dates of death, and there are no newspaper names written beside them. What I do know I've listed, and what was penciled in on the obit, I've included. If you find someone that is attached to you, please let me know, and I will try and see if I can find any other information for you, such as date of death if you don't have it, and possibly a newspaper name, also. Obits of Folks from the Lawrence County, AR area These obituaries are from various newspapers, all concerning people who once lived in the Lawrence County area, mostly around Smithville, Jesup, Strawberry, and Lynn, with a few from the Walnut Ridge area.
