The Maryville Times newspaper covered the Maryville, Blount County area located in East Tennessee, within sight of the Great Smoky Mountains. Past Times contains numerous obituary and marriage notices as well as other articles of interest such as weather events, social gatherings, family reunions and community happenings transcribed from the Maryville Times for the years 1896 through 1899. Every effort was made to include each obituary and marriage notice located in existing copies. Unfortunately, some issues were partially missing or missing altogether. As an added bonus for researchers, most of the surnames are in bold print to make it easier to find people at a glance. A full name index adds to the value of this work.
