Lewis Co, TN: 2008 Obituaries from the Lewis County Herald

Lewis Co, Tennessee:
Death Notices
printed in the Lewis County Herald
Hohenwald, TN
2008
A TnGenWeb Project

     The Lewis County Herald, Inc. is published every Thursday morning at 31 East Linden Avenue, Hohenwald, TN. All obituaries are transcribed by Cheryl Zelek. I receive my copies of the Lewis County Herald via the US Postal Service two to three weeks after publication. The information is public record.

     The information stated in obituaries is only as good as the source. Obituaries are usually the least accurate of all records.   Remember to confirm all information using primary sources such as birth certificates.

I am missing the obituaries for one issue this year: February 28, 2008.
I would be grateful if anyone who has this issue would transcribe the
obituaries and send them to me via email.
