The Daily News Batavia, Genesee Co., NY September 28-1888 A GENESEE COUNTY HISTORY. J.H. BEERS & Co., the Chicago publishers, are making a preliminary canvass here to ascertain the prospects of success should they undertake the publication of a Genesee county history. The volume they propose to publish would be superior to anything of the kind heretofore attempted in this county, and would serve to put in permanent form much of the early history of the Holland purchase now available, but which before many years may be lost. The volume would have about one thousand pages, handsomely printed and bound. The publishers would like to insure the sale of 1,000 copies. ++ THE COLT ST. GOTHARD KILLED.
