1950 Obituaries from Henderson County Texas

NOTE: some of the days from the year 1950 were missing, I've tried to be as accurate on the spelling of the names, plus if information was missing I checked the cemetery books to verify anything that was missing.On obits with "none listed", this usually meant that it was out of the county/state where the burial took place. Also note that not all of these died in Henderson County, sometimes an obituary was place when they heard of former residents dying or when someone was kin to someone who lived in the county died.

All Obituaries can be found at the
