AND
Columbia County Obituary Index
by Marcia Chapman

the newspapers of Columbia County from 1948 to 2004. Copies of these
obits are available at the Columbia County Library in Magnolia,
Arkansas. The book has 492 pages and is hardbound. The price of the
book is $50.00 with shipping of $12.50. Arkansas residents must pay
