Kerrville Mountain Sun and Kerrville Advance Obituary and Death Notice Index, 1898-1965

This book presents, in index form, obituary information for nearly 10,000 people in the Kerrville, Texas, area. The first section of this book is devoted to the 1898-1929 obituaries from the Kerrville Mountain Sun and the Kerrville Advance. The Advance went out of business by 1920, leaving the Mountain Sun as the only local newspaper for a number of years. The second portion of the book is made up of notices and obituaries from the Mountain Sun for the period from 1930 through 1965. Each entry presents the person’s full name, date of death and source reference. The book is organized chronologically by years and alphabetically within years. By presenting the material in index form, rather than including the entire obituary, the book is able to fit the basic information for a large number of names in one handy volume.
