I don't know if you all can help me, but.... I need a newspaper clipping, or information about the clipping.? It doesn't have to be an original, just somewhere to point me in the right direction and get the facts straight. It's about Saratoga Lake from 1885 to 1910 as I'm not sure of the date.? I know the clipping exists because it was lost by the lady that I'm helping.? She's 92 and writing a book! Her Grandmother is Laura Roxanne Smith Ellsworth (Elsworth) and she's the one the clipping is about.? She was listed as a Clairvoyant in Saratoga in the 1900 census, and she helped find a missing fisherman in Saratoga Lake after many unsuccessful tries by others.? So, maybe 1885- 1909 would be more exact years for the search as she was living in Schenectady from 1910 - 1920 censuses and in Rochester in the 1930 census. Any help, direction, suggestions?
