The Monroe Mirror
These obits were found in a yellow 3 ring binder at the Monroe Public Library. They have been typed by an unknown person & none of the 100 more or less pages contain the name of neither the newspaper nor the publication date. I am just assuming that they were taken from the Monroe Mirror.
(This obit did show an actual clipping dated June 21, 1937).

AARON WOOD- Aaron Wood, 91, pioneer resident of Jasper county, died Monday noon at his farm east of Monroe, which had been his home for 81 years. He had been in poor health for some time.
