Thank you very much. That was a very sensitive way for the newspaper to report his death; he committed suicide by hanging himself. I was born on that same day. Please scan and email it to me, or mail the paper copy to 6406 Dunnavant Place, Huntsville, AL 35806 Ed In a message dated 3/1/2010 5:53:25 P.M. Central Standard Time, [email protected] writes: Hi Ed, I found the obit for Harold H. Stone in the Albion Advertiser Thursday September 14, 1950 p.7 it reads: "Harold H.

He is survived by his wife, Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks Stone of Carlton; a son, George Stone, of Albion; two daughters, Mrs. Geraldine Marshall of Hamlin, and Mrs. Erva Burdett of Germantown, Md., a brother, John Stone, of Rochester, and seven grandchildren.

Hi Dee, Thank you for the obit information on John Devonshire. I guess I'll have to put a little more effort into hunting for his son Leon.

-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dave and Maureen Sent: Monday, January 25, 2010 8:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [NYORLEAN] Brick walls I have been searching for marriage information for years on my Great Grandfather, Andrew Capwell (Capwill) and have had no luck. Andrew lived with his parents, James W. and Azubah Capwill in Kendall in 1880. His wife to be, Jennie Burnett, lived in Shelby with her mother and Stepfather Alzina and Orrin Canfield and family. I have checked with the Kendall Historian, Kendall Town Clerk, Carlton Historian, Carlton Town Clerk, Shelby Town Clerk , Albion, Albany Vital Records, Buffalo Library films, Rochester Library films, Niagara County Historian. There were no records of their marriage. (That's normal. If you knew the date and place or at least a close estimate, a newspaper search has a small chance of finding an article. Prominent people had articles but most people did not.) Andrew's wife Jennie supposedly died in childbirth with twins in 1886, there is no death certificate to be found. Jennie already had my Grandfather in 1883. They lived in Waterport which is evidently part of Carlton. (Yes. Waterport is a small village in the township of Carlton.) One of the twins died in 1887. A wonderful, helpful person, Mary Stack, from the Orleans County Website found the death certificate information for me at the Rochester Library. (Was it a newspaper article? Was it in the index of vital records?) H.B. Onderdonk evidently was the Undertaker (from Albion?) that handled the funeral of Jennie's daughter in 1887. She died Carleton. I have been trying to find out what mortuary handled her burial. According to her death certificate, she was buried in the Waterport Cemetery in Carleton. Because of a fire, they don't have any records for her burial and said that a lot of the old headstones were vandalized numerous times and are now rubble. The Carleton Town Clelrk told me that all the town records from 1885 to 1900 are missing. (Most morticians until about 1960 also had a furniture business. Furniture stores also sold wooden caskets. The oldest funeral home records that I have found so far go back to 1915 with a funeral home that is still in business.) Does anyone know of H. B. Onderdonk or of a mortuary from that time period? (We could probably find an ad for his business.) If so, what would have happened to the mortuary records? (They were probably lost like so many other records.) Any suggestions as to where else I could search would be greatly appreciated. (I think that you have done a great job. I have been working on Orleans County genealogy for more than 45 years and I have my share of brick walls. Fortunately many of my family were prominent and/or they paid to get their biography into Landmarks or Pioneers, and/or in the newspaper. I have been really blessed but still have my share of dead ends. I have been looking the parents of Dorcas Tallman for all of this period. One of their daughters' obituary mentioned that she came here right after the War of 1812 with her family. Now I know that here parents were here and I suspect out of the county before the 1820 census.)
