Dear list members, Does anyone know how I can get info on an accidental death and its followup inquest that occurred on April 23, 1860. There was an item in the Utica Daily Observer (Wednesday evening edition-Vol XIII-#307 which told about the death of an Adolphus Onswald from a falling tree limb as he was cutting down trees at Slayton's Bush in the town of New Hartford on the property of Jotham Gaylord. An inquest was to follow with ? (inkblot) Roberts officiating. There is a possibility that they spelled the name wrong in the paper and that it might be my elusive gggf Baltus Unsel aka Balthazar Unseld. I have seen this surname mispelled many ways. With a German accent it would sound like "O". The time, place and cause of death fit my gggf's death. Can anyone help? As you can see, I am grasping at straws. Thank you.
