On the Stone County website there is a section titled "Abstracts of Wills and Administrations" I have been able to obtain copies of many of the documents I need. However, there are 4 that have been difficult to obtain. I would appreciate help from anyone who can help me obtain copies of these. Contact me please if you are able and we can talk about costs if need be. Thank you for your help. Dean
