Obituaries
The following pages include some of the obituaries that the Melting Pot Genealogical Society has archived. If interested in having an obituary emailed to you, please email us and we will send it to you as soon as possible. We can only email up to 10 per month per person. There is no charge for emailed obituaries but donations are greatly appreciated as we operate on memberships and donations. Please be sure to thank MPGS with a donation as there are expenses incurred by the society in obtaining and archiving the obituaries.
The Melting Pot Genealogical Society has archived most of The Sentinel-Record obituaries for 1996-1999, 2005-2011. You may check our obituary section to see if they are listed. If not, please check back as we add more weekly.
The MPGS is maintained by membership dues and donations. If you wish the obituary mailed, we will charge $2.50 for the first obituary and $1.00 for any additional (up to 10 obituaries at one time).
Please write out your check or money order to Melting Pot Genealogical Society and mail to:
MPGS
PO Box 936
Hot Springs, AR 71902-0936
Remember, some obituaries may just show the date of death. When requesting give us the exact information shown on the entire line. If emailing, please copy and paste that line. There may be times that it takes a couple of weeks to get your obituary either in the mail or via email. If you have not received your obituary within three weeks, please send a "second request" email.
The city is shown if there is a city listed in the obituary. The city does not necessarily reflect the place of death but usually the residence. If blank and shows “SR,” probably Hot Springs.
