THE Moray and Nairn Family History Society has announced its latest publication – Nairn County Press and Advertiser Deaths & Obituaries 1900-1905.
The Nairn County Press and Advertiser newspaper was published by John Fraser, 102 High Street, Nairn, and was issued weekly on a Saturday.
The first issue was on July 17, 1897, publication ceased at the end of July 1917.
From these early issues, the Moray and Nairn Family History Society has extracted the notices of death and obituaries. Also included are details of funerals, tragic accidents and other local incidents where a death occurred.
The reporting provides a glimpse of the Edwardian attitude towards death and how it was related to in this local paper.
This work by the Moray and Nairn Family History Society follows on from that already published for the deaths from The St. Ninian Press and Nairnshire Advertiser newspaper from 1892-1900 and early editions of the Forres Gazette and the Elgin Courier.
This publication and other publications of the Moray & Nairn Family History Society can be purchased through the society’s web page or bought from Yeadon’s Bookshop, Elgin, or the Nairn Bookshop.
