Tom, As to the obits for 1897 and 1913, where Amity, NJ and Hamburg, NJ are mentioned: - Would this be an extended neighborhood for Amity, NY a small place just across the line in Orange County? Perhaps by then the "neighborhood" extended into NJ, or maybe it was always so referenced among local? Is Hamburg, NJ in that vicinity? I can understand where it might have been referenced as "Amity, NJ" a hundred years earlier. S.
