If he died in Kinderhook, but if he died in a hospital it could be Hudson or Albany. County Clerk would have will & deeds. Obits sometimes in Albany paper. Times Union is still , Knickerbocker News is gone. There is still the Register Star in Hudson.all were dailies. Columbia Co Hist Soc is in Kinderhook.NY .State also has vitals in Albany but the response is much slower.Hope this helps.
