Name, address, occupation, age, and place of birth of bride and groom. 2. If marriage for each is first, or second. If second, was first ended by death or divorce and when. 3.

Life Along the Way is a series of four books sponsored and published by the Warner's Lake Improvement Association. They are a pictoral history of the families in the Warner's Lake, Thompson's Lake, West Berne, East Berne, Berne, South Berne, Reidsville, Gallupville, areas. I am missing one of the four but told Willard Osterhout has some for sale. They are full of great pictures and some local history stories. try Will at 518-872-1606 TORIBETH22@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 9/14/08 5:59:56 PM, guitarmn@nycap.rr.com writes: > > > Life Along the Way > > > I JUST NOTICED THIS IN THE EMAIL.
