I wrote to the library in Palmyra, NY looking for information about Alexander or Ela Cady. The librarian there couldn't find my elusive ancestors, but he very kindly sent me these snippets. The address is Palmyra Kings Daughter's Library 127 Cuyler Street, Palmyra, NY 14522 (315) 597-5276 The first set of snippets appear to be copies of 3x5 cards typed from newspaper articles by some devoted volunteer. I added a note or two in square brackets. Here they are: FRANK CADY. Married Nov 26, 1879 at the bride's Mother's, F. C. and Hattie Hollenbeck; they are to live in Wmson [Williamson]. FRANK M.

If any of them are your relatives he would probably be happy to send you a copy of the whole article. I don't know what the fee would be. A small ($5) donation to the roof fund and a SASE should cover it. Frank H. Cady of Palmyra died age 55. 1 Jul 1943, Courier Journal. Wm. A.
