Sisters Barbara and Verla are pleased to offer these four volumes of a companion series to their Obituaries of Benton County, Arkansas books. These books are compilations of obituaries abstracted from microfilm of the newspapers of Washington County, Arkansas. With the exception of the first chapter of Volume One, chapters are identified by calendar years and, within each year, the obituaries are alphabetically arranged by the deceased's name. Maiden names are included when known. Information for the obituaries and articles was supplied by: verbal reports from visitors to the newspapers; letters from community correspondents; obituaries from family, friends, or church pastors; probate records; eulogies or memorials from lodges and other organizations; and reports in other newspapers. Many of the entries contain information pertaining to the neighboring Arkansas counties of Benton and Madison, as well as the Indian Territory (Oklahoma). These obituaries are an important resource to genealogists and historians interested in Washington County. Volume One covers the years 1841-1892; Volume Two-1893-1902; Volume Three-1903-1908 and Volume Four-1909-1912. Each volume includes a fullname index.
