"MALOTT OBITUARIES"

Some of these obituaries were hard to come by, so getting them, I thought maybe I would share the information that is in them. Besides the information that comes in so many of these older obituaries, the way they wrote in those days was just as interesting. I have typed it exactly as written, so please pardon the spellings and punctuation.
