    1. [NYLEWIS] Info on extracts from old newspapers
    2. Hi, Here is the web sites where the newspaper extracts are stored http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/usa.html in case you want to investigate further - other counties in NY - other states in the US. The articles I transcribed are pages that I xeroxed a few years ago when I was doing my Lewis county research at the New York state library in Albany, N.Y. I only have a few more pages to transcribe. This appears to be a free site, hopefully it will remain that way. There is also a commercial, subscription site at www.newspaperarchive.com To Marilyn in Michigan, I think the death certificate for Lucretia McDONALD who is listed as died in Lowville should be in the village clerk's records. (? is Lowville a village ?) To research Lucretia McDONALD I think you would want to get the newspaper that was printed after June 30, 1890. The newspaper list of deaths in Lowville was printed in January 1891 for all the deaths that occurred in the previous year - 1890. It is possible that the information printed in the newspaper had some errors, for example, the entry for Patrick KELLEY lists his date of death as March 33. I guess you will need to find a researcher in Lowville or Albany, NY. Good luck. Enjoy
