Dear CT Friends, I'm in hopes that there would be somone who would go to the basement of the Ferguson Library in Stamford and pull an obituary for me from their microfilm collection. If so, it is of my uncle Richard P. Hartmann, and he died on December 16 1975 in Florida. I would think his obituary would be in the Advocate in the December 1975 time period between the 17th and 25th. I would be willing to reimburse for copying and mailing expenses. Sincerely, George Hoyt (formerly of Stamford, but now of Glen Ivy CA)

I live in Florida. Where did he die? Would there have been an obit for him here, or was he just visiting? I'll help if I can. Judy in Ocala PS. I'm also a Hoyt from Stamford. My nearest Hoyt ancestor is my 8G GM Abigail Hoyt, b. 1674/75 Norwalk, m. John Ferris, 1695 Stamford, d. Greenwich, date unknown. I am descended from her son John Ferris. In the early 1800s the Ferrises migrated to Putnam County, NY and eventually to Oswego County where many of their descendants still are today. However, in 1915, my grandmother left Oswego to take her first teaching position in Greenwich, probably unaware that it was her family's original home. And so it goes full circle. My entire family was born in Stamford, home of our ancestors. -----Original Message----- From: GWGEHoyt@aol.com [mailto:GWGEHoyt@aol.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 03, 2006 5:54 PM To: CTFAIRFI-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Stamford Obituary Dear CT Friends, I'm in hopes that there would be somone who would go to the basement of the Ferguson Library in Stamford and pull an obituary for me from their microfilm collection.
