Here is a link to the genealogy microfilm room holdings at the Camden Ouachita County library.

You can check the dates for the newspaper microfilm holdings. I don't recall if the microfilmed newspapers list obits or not, but perhaps you could call a librarian and ask before you make a trip there.

The genealogy reading room at Camden has other interesting materials, books, journals, but I am assuming that only the newspaper microfilms would be relevant to your question.

FWIW, I haven't had any luck in obits back that far. That seems to be because my ancestors lived on farms. I also haven't had luck in death certificates, even for 1935, which is well after Arkansas began requiring them. Family tradition is of burial managed by the family and neighbors.

Tombstones are a good source, but sometimes they were put up years later and their information in that case can be based upon research and family tradition.

If you are ever in Little Rock, at the Arkansas History Commission, you might want to check the AHC microfilm donated by Proctor Funeral Home of Camden, especially if your ancestors lived in town. The early burial records tend to have minimal information, but later years--I forget the cut-off date, but say, 1920s or 1930s or 1940s or so--it's been awhile since I checked them, and I forget--might have names of parents of the deceased, among other info.
