At the Fulton Post Card website there is an item from Utica, NY newspaper dated September 23, 1877: "Asa Bishop of Belleville was seriously injured by being thrown from a milk wagon and may die." I do not know if this is your Asa, however, I thought it could be of interest. Address for the website is: www.fultonhistory.com Use the search engine by entering a name you wish to research. Florence
