Ron, Check out the New York State Newspaper Project page (from the NYS Library) http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/ Click on NYS Newspaper Microfilm, and then either NYS Newspaper Microfilm at the State Library or NYS Newspaper Microfilm around the State. These lists will tell you which newspapers cover the dates you want, and then which libraries own them. You might then be able to "rent" the film through the Interlibrary Loan Dept. of your local Public Library. As for the death records, you would have to check with the local offices in Annsville. NYS only has them from 1881+ (mostly incomplete). Good luck.

I am looking for an obituary for Oren (orrin) Kingsley, Sr., who is thought to have died at Annsville between 1840 and 1850. Are any kind of official death records available for that time? If not, which newspapers would have been mostly likely to have published an obituary? He lived in Annsville (previously was Florence) from shortly after 1810. Please respond directly, as well as to the list if you wish. Thanks. Ron McRoberts mcrob001@tc.umn.edu

Happy New Year List, It's a new year and I'm trying again to find these elusive relatives. I am looking for information on Hugh and Elizabeth Murray of Utica in the time frame of 1908 and 1913. I believe Hugh died 1908-1909 and Elizabeth 1913-1914. I need help finding their exact date of deaths. In 1908 they lived on 58 Tracy Street. The last time Elizabeth appeared in the directory was 1913 and was listed as widow of Hugh living at 336 Lincoln. They were married in the Grace Episcopal Church, Genesee Street, Utica on February 16, 1876. I wrote to the church in the spring of 1999 and never received a response. Can anyone help? Thanks, Karen (in chilly Montana)

Hello, I have some information on these surnames, but of course am always looking for more. I also have a little information on Wood and Palmer surnames. All are in the Utica, Whitestown, New York Mills area. The time spans are from the mid 1900's going back to the first quarter of the 1800's. I would like to hear from anyone who might be connected. I also have a family Bible that belonged to Flora Hand containing Utica newpaper clippings of the obituaries of friends and family members from the last quarter of the 1800's through about 1920. The names mentioned are Gilmore, Eichmeyer, Klein, Barnard, Fincke, Steele, Hoag, Divine, Graham, Thomas, & Shaw, as well as some of the previously mentioned family surnames. I would be happy to pass on any information. Jane Denniss Alois

Mary, If the person actually died in Whitesboro the d.c. probably would be available from the town of Whitestown clerk. I they died in a hospital it probably would have been in the city of Utica and the city clerk would have it.

Hello all, while searching for my greatgrandfather Joseph KNAPP and his wife Minnie ROMMEL, I have come across this and wanted to share it. I hope it helps someone! Merry Christmas to you all! *** Fort Hill Cemetery New York I spoke with a very nice woman Elaine yesterday 12/22 to inquire on Joseph and Minnie KNAPP who are buried there. This is the info she provided me with. Joseph N. KNAPP purchased a six grave lot on 6 May 1893. Grave 1 Thomas D. KNAPP d. 27 Jun 1936 at the age of 46 Grave 2 Joseph N.

KNAPP, Sr. d. 6 Mar 1974 at the age of 78 Grave 6 Marion C. KNAPP d. 8 Aug 1996 at the age of 94 end of the info supplied by Fort Hill Cemetery. *** Prior to receiving the above info. I had requested the obit on this Joseph N. KNAPP. I will try to put it all here, but may need to have a Part 2 if it is too long. *** THE ONEIDA DISPATCH, ONEIDA, N.Y. MAY 27, 1910 ANOTHER AUTOMOBILE FATALITY One Man Killed and Three Injured Near Sherrill Tuesday Night A distressing automobile accident in which Joseph N. Knapp, a prominent traveling shoe salesman of Auburn, was instantly killed, and James G. S. Dey, Thomas E. Clay and the chauffeur, Elliott Brown, colored, all of Syracuse, were painfully injured, occurred at a out 5:30 Tuesday evening on the Seneca turnpike near Morrison's crossing, between Sherrill and Vernon. The accident was due to the collapse of the right forward wheel of Mr. Dey's 60 horse power Franklin touring car, No. 5711. The party was returning from a shoot of the Rome Gun club. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Clay were in the rear seat while Mr. Dey and his chauffeur were in the front, Brown being at the wheel. They had made a detour around Vernon and were again on the turnpike, running upwards of 20 miles an hour. It is claimed that some one noticed that one of the front wheels wobbled and the car slowed down, but not quickly enough. The four occupants were hurled out on to the ground. Mr. Knapp striking on his head on the roadside and breaking his neck, dying almost instantly. Mr. Clay was the first to gain his feet. He found Mr. Dey in the road badly dazed and Brown, the chauffeur in the ditch writhing with pain. A companion car occupied by C.L. Faatz of Seneca Falls and Charles Dailey of Baldwinsville, and which was preceding them, soon turned back and brought Mr. Dey to the Broad Street Hospital in this city where an examination by Dr. Carpenter showed that he had sustained one broken rib, sprained muscles of the back and abrasions on the forehead, right cheek and temple. Campbell's ambulance was sent to the wreck and brought Clay and Brown to the Broad Street Hospital and the body of Knapp by direction of Coroner Lewis to the morgue. Clay received lacerations of the scalp and was able to go to his home Wednesday forenoon with his wife, who arrived here about midnight. Brown sustained a broken right shoulder, abrasions of the arm and hands and injured kidneys and ligaments of the back. He will be confined to his bed for some time, but will recover. Mr. Knapp's brother, Charles Knapp of Auburn, arrived here at midnight and at 11:23 Wednesday took the body to Auburn. Knapp leaves a wife, two sons and a daughter. Mrs. Dey was advised of the accident and arrived in Oneida about 8 o'clock. She has remained with her husband at the hospital since. On Wednesday Donald Dey's son, nephew of the injured man was also here. Mr. Dey is a member of the firm of Dey Brothers & Co. of Syracuse. He is badly injured, but it is believed that he will recover, although he will have to remain here in the hospital for a week or more. At the hospital yesterday afternoon Mr. Dey and Mr. Brown were reported doing well, with no change in their condition. The cause of the accident seems to be a mystery. While it is attributed to the collapse of the right front wheel, every spoke of which was broken, there is a suspicion that the tire burst, which caused the machine to swerve and hurl the occupants out. Credit: I did not do the footwork on this info. I was provided a copy of the microfiche from S. Cook in Oneida, NY. These gracious efforts included going to the library, looking up a surname and then located this page of history. This person then spent their own money to copy and mail me (by snail mail) the photocopy of microfiche. A big thank you! Note from transcriber: I have typed this as seen on a copy from microfiche (black background and white typing) - some of which is difficult to read. Errors of names may be due to inability to determine certain letters. Wording is word for word otherwise.
