Does anyone have any information on a Syrena Davis, born January 31, 1875, died August 27, 1875? She may have been from Ulster County. Many thanks, Seward R. Osborne

Dick - Thanks for the tips and the interest. I do have a wealth of info from the newspapers - and I have it typed if anyone cares for a copy. Although the murderer was known, he was never captured, thus no trial. I did think of the court records for the various activities that did take place, but everyone tells me there would be no records from 1868. (By the way - murder was in Accord, Ulster County). Never once in all the news articles did it discuss the woman's parentage, which is what I am interested in. And not only did I never run across and obit from late 1868, she is known to be buried in an unmarked grave - I presume in Accord. I have even spoken to someone who thought he had a line on the local cemetery records, but that did not pan out. This is what makes family history such an interesting hobby. It's the chase for info, when info is tough to locate. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]]On Behalf Of Dick Hillenbrand Sent: Saturday, December 06, 2008 11:42 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [NYGREENE] Rev Hedstrom plus Dunagan and Tompkins Gary, The chances of finding marriage record notes of this man is near impossible, but the operative word is "near."

Gary, The chances of finding marriage record notes of this man is near impossible, but the operative word is "near." As it turns out that he being fairly prominent and a newspaper editor, there "might" be some of his journals somewhere and if I were you I would not rest until I found them. Sophia, murdered? GREAT! (Of course not so great for Sophia, and my apologies, but couldn't resist.) There will be court records of the trial, and you might get testimony from a brother or married sister, or some other type of clue. Dig through the case files, they are all published in the court house of record. There will also be newspaper accounts, and best might be a juicy estate file in a probate court somewhere.

O.G. Hedtrom Oliff/Orloff/Olif (& prob other spellings,) was from Scandanavia either Sweden or Norway, depends on who wrote about him, and there is a ton of stuff online. A recent book about this important Christian family: "The Hedstroms and the Bethel Ship Saga: Methodist Influence on Swedish Religious Life" - Book by Henry C. Whyman, Kenneth E. Rowe; Southern Illinois University Press, 1992. 186 pgs. Surely there is going to be an obit SOMEWHERE! He was the Editor of the "Western Christian Advocate" newspaper.

I want to thank eveyone who took in interest in The Rev Hedstrom. I wasn't so much interested in his bio as I was finding records of people who he officiated at their wedding or christenings, but I do appreciate people spending some time on this task. There are two other brick walls that I have never broken down. Again with all the great advice I have been given and the efforts of some people on the Rev Hedstrom, I ask if anyone has clues to either of the following. It is not that I expect people to do my research as I sit back, I am simply out of ideas and can use the expertise of others to see if these walls can be knocked loose. 1. A Michael Donegan/Dunagan/Dunigan (born in Ireland about 1804) probably arrived in Hunter about 1826-1827, married Elenor Underhill and they had numerous children as was the fashion of the day (Mary Ann, John, Andrew, Michael, Ellen, Lucy, William, Martha, Julia Theresa, and possibly one older daughter from the 1820's who never got listed by name in the census). In about 1848 they moved to Ulster County - Town of Olive. My main quest is to get any info on the background of Michael Donegan "from Ireland". I have found no records of any kind in Hunter for he or his family. No church records, no marriage, christenings, land - if it wasn't for census records I would wonder if he existed. So any ideas to get a line on Michael or on the descendants of the daughters would be welcome. I have very good info on the sons - some of whom were in the Civil War. 2. Sophia Tompkins - born in Greene County probably mid 1820's, married to Jacob Hornbeck in 1844 in Prattsville, then moved to Denning/Grahamsville on the border of Ulster and Sullivan County. I know there were a number of Tompkins in southern Greene including several in the Lexington area. But I have never been able to put Sophia to a family line. Again, no records of marriage, christenings, etc. Just a blank wall. I do have good records of her descendants, her husband's civil war demise and ultimately her murder at the hands of her second husband - but who were her parents? Gary [email protected]

Found one newspaper mention of him attending a conference in the Poughkeepsie Journal, hard to read but looks like 1873. Go to www.fultonhistory.com search all the words: hedstrom prattsville Then get ready to spend a few hours looking at fabulous old newspapers.

Dick is right--this is a fabulous cite. The Poughkeepsie Journals from the 1930s published everything. I found all my parents' Christian Endeavor meetings, my mother's Regents marks, Dutchess County Fair news of my my mother and her siblings, tons of stuff about my joiner-grandmother, etc., etc. The stuff about my parents gives a great glipse into the life of a 30s teenager.

Hey guys, I am the New York Conference Archives at the moment and there is no biography for Rev. Mr. Hedstrom publiched in the journal the year after he ded., although that does not preclude other Methodist publications - Christian Advocate comes to mind. Actually I am answering e-mail for the NYC Archives until the group can find a new archivist.

You should check with the New York Conference Archives at White Plains. It has been my experience that all Methodist ministers had a glowing biography/pbit written about them in the Annual Conference book of the year following his death. He should have also had a similar obit in the Methodist Newspaper.

Olaf G. Hedstrom entered the Methodist Episcopal clergy ni 1835 and served for 42 years died May 6, 1866 at the age of 74.
