This special section of The
Olden Times features old newspaper articles from or about Tennessee
and Tennessee families, dating from the 1800's to the early 1900's. *
You'll find old news
articles, obituaries, birth & marriage announcements, ads and more.
Newspapers abound with genealogical clues and wonderful historical
context for family historians.

Note:
The Index of
Names is always your best bet for finding a specific name!
Each of these
was scanned from an original issue of an old newspaper in my personal
collection. They appear in the order in which they were added to this
website. Be sure to check for archived
stories, since I move them from this
page to the Archives periodically.
* I'm sorry, but I do not have any
more recent newspapers. If you're looking for old news stories or obituaries
published after 1920, I suggest you check with your local library. If they
don't have the issue that you seek, they may be able to locate one on
microfilm through another institution. Sadly, very few actual original
issues remain in library collections, and thus you may only be able to get
microfilm views of the old news pages.
