    1. [NY-Old-News] Scrapbook entries
    2. My grandmother, Sarah Caroline HAWKINS born July, 30 1889 in Alexander, Genesee Co., NY m. Arthur Peter HAHN April 25, 1917, in Alexander, Genesee Co., died December 7, 1969 in Batavia Hospital, a resident of Stafford, Genesee Co. NY, buried in Stafford Cemetery. Since she wrote these as a young girl in Alexander, I suspect that these are local acquaitances of hers. Here are some handwritten notes in her scrapbook: Jared Lea Moore UPHILL was married August 24, 1910. Pearle GEAR and Walter Perry WHITE were married September 18, 1910. Florence Ethel STROH and Marcus Philip LEFFLER were married Wednesday, September 21, 1910. Rose TIMM was married to Henry SIMONDS March 1913. Ida BOWEN and Fred BENNETT married January 1914 (boy born Nov. 3, 1914) Girl born to Mr. & Mrs. Earl SPRAGUE Oct. 1914 (Dorothy May) Following the handwritten entries are several loose obituaries, some pinned in with a straight pin. Then there are several pages of newspaper articles glued in such as "The Past Year's Events on Record arranged in chronological order for ready reference. Summary of the Miscellaneous affairs, accidents and incidents, births, deaths, marriages and Items of Interest for the Year 1907." I don't know the name or location of the paper, but suspect that it would be a paper local to Alexander (Genesee Co.) or Attica (Wyoming Co.) If there is interest I will transcribe this and other articles of interest from her scrapbook which is yellowed and crumbly with age, a treasure for me! Kathy in Arkansas
