Thank you, thank you, thank you! I looked at the Thrall Library Obit. database link you sent and saw the Goshen Library link and tried it - and wow! my gg grandfather - Samuel Maharay's obituary is in the Independent Republican.  I had spent a brief time last year looking at the obits at the Newburgh library - but wasn't successful.  Really appreciate it. -Anne Maharay Bryant ----- Original Message ----- From: "juliasgenes" <juliasgenes@yahoo.com> To: nyorange@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, May 3, 2010 11:57:58 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [NYORANGE] The Adams and Paul Families of Highland Mills,  NY Hello, Mike - When I get the opportunity, I'll check the Times-Herald Record microfilms at the library for the obituaries. This is the major newspaper in Orange County. Meanwhile, I looked at the Thrall Library's Obituary Database http://www.thrall.org/obitdb/  (there are more obits in the database than the years mentioned). None of the people from your message are there. There's this Henry J. Adams, but the dates don't match yours: NAME (last,first): Adams, Henry J. DOB (Y,M,D): 1914,10,1 DOD (Y,M,D): 1984,7,19 Hopefully, going to the microfilm itself will help. Fingers crossed! I found a David Adams in the Orange County telephone book - I'll e-mail your private address with the listing.    --- On Mon, 5/3/10, Mike Scozzari <michael.scozzari@gmail.com> wrote: ...Henry "Harry" Adams:  b. 9 Jun 1882, Middletown, Orange Co., New York; d. 28 May 1968...

What date of death, Anne? Goshen library has the newspaper obits in binders in their Local History room, but the Local Historian isn't there often - will go there, too, some time when the open days align with my schedule, but the obits are filed by date. Did you try the telephone numbers? If David is that old, I wouldn't waste a second calling him!

Hey! Wasn't your name "Mike"? I'm confused...
