Obituary index for BERESFORD REPUBLIC, Vol. 88, 1981 The following is an index of obituaries which were published in the "Beresford Republic" in the year 1981. The paper is weekly and is published every Thursday in Beresford, Union County, South Dakota. The first 22 issues of 1981 were listed as No. 30-52 of Volume 87, and No. 1-30 of Vol 88. Starting with the Nov 1 issue of 1990, the paper's new editor began a numbering scheme which was consistent with the volume numbers of the paper's earliest issues; but, the newer scheme started numbering the issues of the volumes at the beginning of the calendar years. For purposes of simplicity, the volume number listed for this index is based on this more recent numbering scheme. Because of the inconsistencies of the volume and issue numbers, publication dates are more important. Any information not listed in the fields below was not provided in the original obituaries. In cases where the date of birth is not given, the age at the time of death is given in that field instead. The dates listed with an asterisk are funeral dates; because, a dates or years of death were not listed in the obituary. A surname with an asterisk represents the name of an individual whose date of death was listed within the obituary of another individual. Some married women were listed only by their husbands names. In those cases, the husband's name is listed in the first name field inside [ ]. Some misspellings may have come from the original published obituaries. Data from obituaries is listed below as it was published. The Beresford Public Library is authorized to archive copies of this index for use by patrons. This index was compiled by Brian M.
