Indexing Obituaries

I'm indexing an image with multiple obituary notices. Instructions say to index each obituary separately even if they are duplicates of each other (which they are not). In which order do I index them? Do I go across or do I go down. They are kind of haphazard.

    If the Project Instructions do not state the order I would recommend starting in the first column - top to bottom and then the next column - top to bottom - etc. This is the way a newspaper text flows - so should be the way it is indexed - I believe.
