Local Newspapers

Our local newspapers are the Henderson Daily News and Trammel Trace Tribune (weekly). The Rusk County Library in Henderson has some obituaries gleaned from the Henderson Daily News and the Rusk County News over the years. It is not a complete record but is extensive. There are also obituaries from the Overton Press. There is a complete list of newspapers on our address page.

The USGenWeb Rusk County Archives contains a nice collection of articles from some of the older publications.
