TIPPAH COUNTY DEATH NOTICES 100 years of Death Records Compiled from Various Sources 1836 through 1936 These records were compiled by Don Martini and published by the Tippah County Historical Society in two volumes. They are combined here to make searching easier. Most of the obituaries in Vol. II (1915-1936) are taken from the Sentinel and have a six-digit number in parenthesis. The first two numbers are the month, the next two the day and the third pair is the year. All are in the 1900's. Our thanks to Tom Childers, President of the Historical Society, for giving permission to put these and other Tippah County Records online, and to W.
