This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

(I do have her in every U.S. census from the time she came here from Canada in 1851). I'm hoping to find obituaries for Jennie, Dennis, (death dates listed above) and for William Long who died August 1, 1888. I do have Dennis and William's death certificates which list their parents, (William Long and Abigail Smith, residents of Canada), but do not list their siblings. I am hoping to prove, through more than circumstantial evidence, that William and Dennis also had a brother living in Ottawa Co. Michigan, a sister living in Wisconsin, a brother living in Hastings, Ontario, and a brother and sister living in Orleans Co. NY. An obituary that names the siblings would be a goldmine. (I'm also interested in Jennie's relationship to the Coles. Abigail Long was living with James Cole in 1860 in Delhi, Ingham Co. Michigan and Catholine (Long) Alderson's son, Edwin Alderson, of Orleans Co. NY, married James Cole's daughter Emma.) I have Catholine (Long) Alderson's obituary, but it names only her husband and children. I'm certainly not assuming that an obituary was published for everyone, but of the many that I have, only one has been a paid obituary. And each of the people that I've named had a large monument on the gravesite, so I doubt if the cost of an obituary would have been a deterrent. Back to my original question. What newspapers would have carried obituaries from Delhi and does anyone have a telephone number or address of a library or other service which would have those newspapers archived? I live in Alabama and have made one trip to Delhi, long enough to visit the cemetery, but not long enough to hunt down a library or address any of my other questions. Hoping to return there in November, armed with more information. (I've requested look-ups from the look-up volunteers listed on the website a few months ago, but received no replies.)
