This volume of genealogical notes together with the first book – Kentucky Marriages 1797 – 1865 (published in the Register April, 1938 – October 1940) – was taken from newspaper files owned by and housed in the Lexington Public Library. The original purpose of the compilation was to make the finished work available only to users of the above-mentioned newspapers, in an effort to minimize usage of this valuable source material. With their publication in the Register it is hoped the records will prove of worth to a larger audience.

The obituary notices have been edited to include (a) the name of the person deceased, (b) place of residence, (c ) wife or husband, parentage or other survivor or survivors and, (d) date of death. In many instances obituaries too lengthy for inclusion were published by the newspapers. Such notices have been edited for their genealogical value and the word Obituary appended, this to enable the researcher to secure the complete necrology if desirable.
