The following is a list of deaths extracted from a diary kept by Jennie (Love) Murray of Meigs County. A note from the donor of this information:
The information is from a diary found in a trunk belonging to my grandmother, Jennie (Love) Murray. I assume the information was kept by her, but not sure. The trunk was in my family when I was a child, and I remember seeing the book. My cousin, Gene Welsh, now has it, and he extracted the information, rather than keep handling the book. The pages have become very brittle.
