Mary, The area you are referring to is the general neighborhood that I live in (I'm one house away from Scott and Euclid, not far from Nottingham High School and also not far from Drumlin's Country Club). What street did your Gertrude Mitchell live on? If I hadn't cancelled my subscription to Ancestry.com I could probably look it up myself, but I don't have access anymore. -- Mary D.

Mary, Thanks for responding. I do have access to Ancestry which I recently upgraded (a special) which included the newspapers. The Syracuse Herald mentioned the death of Gertrude as partly quoted. The 1910 census finds her with husband, George, and son living on Webster St. Isn't that closer to West Colvin St.? The way it was worded is what gave me the impression that perhaps it was an institution/hospital of some kind. Perhaps not. It may be that she did work for the family. Any ideas of where else I might look would be appreciated. I need to check the libraries as Mr. Hellenbrand suggested as well as send for the death record.

Mary, I don't see a Webster Street, but there is a Webster Avenue that is near where East Colvin becomes West Colvin (i.e. west of Rt. 11, which is west of the I-81 overpass). The only other suggestion I could make would be to try the Syracuse City directories for that time period; they should be available at the Onondaga County Public Library's 5th floor Local History collection at the main branch located at the Galleries in downtown Syracuse (this is the building next door to where I work -- I work in the Dey's Centennial Plaza building). There is an e-mail address for the 5th floor -- lhg@onlib.org; their webpage is here: <http://www.onlib.org/website/LH/lh.htm> -- Good luck, Mary Mary Dobard wrote: > Mary, > Thanks for responding.
