Dear Friends, Today, I spent 4 hours in the Denver Genealogy Dept. and found a very interesting death record of my great-Aunt x 4. It was from the book: Marriages and Deaths in the New York Herald, 1856-1862. It read: Eliza Jane L. Browne; died 24 Mar 1862. A note in the family Bible reads the death being 21 Mar 1862, "Hidden's Corner, N." The Denver Library doesn't have micro-films of the New York Herald. Could anyone find a copy of her obituary? Her dad who lived in Brooklyn at the time, probably placed the obit. His name was Cooper Browne. If anyone could make a copy of this, I and my distant cousin would be extremely grateful. Her father's handwritten record of her death listed it as being in Hidden's Corner, N. My cousin and I thought this might mean New Jersey as well as New York. She had married to Richard Lightbown (various spellings) and had born him 2 sons but at the time of her death is not with him. Thank you so much, Donna from Elizabeth, CO

Oh! Thank you Lois for the link! The NY Library does have New York Herald from 1840-1920. I'll send them an email and ask how to obtain a copy. Thank you again!!
