    3. Hello everyone! I received a few newspaper copies of the Jefferson County Journal today and thought I would share info that is on the copies that I received. If anyone else has had any obituaries copied from Jefferson County Newspapers, sometimes on the copy it has little things that went on in the area for that date. It would be nice if others also would type out and send over the mail list, maybe it would be of help to others that are also researching! Never know what we may find!!! Here are a few from one sheet. Jefferson County Journal--- May 5, 1885 Lorraine Mrs. F. B. BROWN will keep a stock of millinery goods at the hotel for the spring trade. J.D. GREEN is traveling through some of the southern towns of the county selling clothing by sample for a good clothing house in Syracuse, N.Y. The people will find him reliable and honest and his goods "no shoddy." Parties collecting spear heads on spear head plug tobacco can recieve fifty cents per hundred for the same in cash or in merchandise by calling on C.D. GRIMSHAW of this village on or before June 20, 1885. First come first served. Last Thursday afternoon the news flashed over the wires announcing the sudden and unexpected death of Mrs. Addie BROWN KNIGHT, of Burgh Hill, O. She died of pneumonia. She was born in this village in 1840 and lived here until she grew to womanhood, except while attending school at Adams and Fairfield. She took for her life's future Dr. Joesph KNIGHT and removed to Burgh Hill where where she had since lived. She leaves one child, a son sixteen years of age. She is the sister of Philo M. BROWN, Esq, of this village and a niece of Hon. Levi H. BROWN, of Watertown, N.Y. She joined the Baptist church of Lorraine long years ago and has always been a worthy and consistent member of that denomination. The brothers and sisters of the deceased living in their far away scattered homes, have in their sad hour of affliction our most tender sympathy.
