Hi all, The following are clippings from the Genesee County History Department's Obit books. Most of the articles are dated, but some only contain the year, and I assume that they were all from one of the Batavia newspapers, although they don't state WHICH paper. All can be found at the Genesee County History Department, and probably on microfilm at the Richmond Memorial Library in Batavia as well. Some of the subjects are my family, while others are just articles that I inadvertently copied while getting the clippings on my family. I will label my family clippings accordingly, and if anyone finds a connection, PLEASE contact me, as I would LOVE to share info!!! If an article is NOT labeled as my family, however, I would ask that you PLEASE NOT contact me in hopes of obtaining further info, as I will have none!! These articles can all be found in the archives of the NY-OLD-NEWS-L@rootsweb.com list as well. ENJOY!!!! ************************************** October 29, 1906 ANDREW M'FALL His Death Occurred at the Home of His Stepson, Daniel MacNEIL Andrew McFALL, a native of Scotland, died at the home of his stepson, Daniel MacNEIL of No. 238 State street, at 10:45 o'clock on Saturday night at the advanced age of 87 years.
