For several years now, Billy Martin and his wife, Billie, have been collecting and formatting all the new obituaries as they are published in the newspaper. They have typed many of the books that are for sale by the Lamar County Genealogical Society. They have done so much to help the genealogists of this area! Billy will certainly be missed.
