You know the location and the dates. You can go on line and see if the NY State Library has microfilms of newspapers for that (or those)localities for the time periods in which you are interested. See directions below. Good hunting. Cliff Hayes New York State Public Library Newspaper Collection The New York State Public Library in Albany, New York has a vast collection of the newspapers published in the State going back into the 1800s or further. You can reach it's Web Site at http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/. I believe you can read the index of papers and dates that they have in the collection, listed by County and, within county, by locality. These are available through interlibrary loan through your own local library. I understand that this service is free to New York State residents; for others there is a nominal fee. There is some question about whether or not this service applies outside NY State. I suggest you go to the web site and see for yourself. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Linda Dufek" <dufek@theriver.com> To: <NYOTSEGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 15, 2006 8:06 PM Subject: [NYOTSEGO] Carr family of Unadilla (Eunice Carr married Zabina Bacon - early 1800s) >I am seeking information on the Carr family of Unadilla, specifically a > Eunice Carr, who married Zabina Bacon, the son of Ebenezer Bacon.

I am seeking information on the Carr family of Unadilla, specifically a Eunice Carr, who married Zabina Bacon, the son of Ebenezer Bacon. They left Unadilla about 1820 and moved to Ashtabula County, Ohio. I would appreciate any suggestions on where to look. I am planning a trip to New York next week and depending on the weather, may visit Unadilla. I also am seeking information on Desire Hough, who was the second wife of Ebenezer Bacon. Below I copied in a biography of one of the brothers of Zabina, Milton Hough Bacon. Source: History of White County, IL, Phillips Township (ca 1882-1884) p 925-926 Milton Hough Bacon, M.D., was born in Unadilla, Oswego Co., N.Y., June 22, 1803. His genealogy can be traced to the early settlement of our country, and he is a direct descendant of one of the old veterans who participated in the French and Indian war. His father, Ebenezer Bacon, was born at Woodstock, Conn., and served six years as a solder under General George Washington during the Revolution. After freedom was declared he married Desire Hough, and bought out thirteen families of "squatters" - 400 owned from three to five saw-mills, which were kept busy at work manufacturing pine and hemlock lumber. Dr. M. H. Bacon is a physician and lawyer by profession. After attending medical college at Fairfield, Herkimer Co, N.Y., he was married to Miss Mary N. Daily, who died at Experience, Scoharie County. By this marriage two children were born - Henry M. and Mary. The latter died when about three years old, and Henry M. spent two years in a Chicago medical college and graduated from Evansville Medical College in 1852. In 1824 Dr. M. H. Bacon commenced the practice of medicine at Lancaster, Ohio, and twelve months later he went into partnership with J. S. Ligate, at Zanesville, where he remained two years. After some time spent in traveling over the States of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Alabama, he settled at Aberdeen, Ohio. From thence he went to Vandalia, Ill, and from here went to Carlinville, Macoupin County, in 1832, where he engaged in the practice of his profession and in the mercantile business for five years. While here he married his second wife, Miss Henrietta Miller, by whom two children were born - Francis H. and Elizabeth M. The former married Samuel C. Smith, and lives at Mattoon, Ill.; the latter died when two months old. At the birth of this child Mrs. B. died. Dr. Bacon moved to Carmi in 1839 and entered into partnership with Dr. Thomas Shannon. They carried on a large and successful practice for two years; then Dr. Bacon removed to Phillipstown, where he has resided ever since. In 1853 the Evansville Medical College conferred an honorary diploma upon him, and the next year he obtained a license to practice law. Dr. Bacon was married to Miss Sarah B. Reeves, daughter of J. H. Reeves, Esq., an old resident of Liberty, in 1842. By the union nine children were born - Chas. L., Esther A., Mary B., Addie E., Marcus R., Delos H., Adolph H., Homer A., and Herschel E., of whom only Addie E., Marcus R., Delos H., and Adolph H. are now living. Dr. Bacon has always been a great sportsman, and although in his eightieth year he may yet be seen around ponds during the fall and winter setting traps or fishing. Game was very plentiful when he came to the State, and at one time he killed three deer at one shot, near the Rose pond. he has been carrying on a drug store for the past twelve years.

Is there: 1) A list of Cooperstown cemeterys, 2 A listing of names in those cemeterys. Am Looking for Knapps, specificially Loren Benton Knapp, d/7-Jul-1933. Thank you

What is your interest in this family? Chancellor Hartson/Hartshorn is connected to my Hartshorn line. Sue Susan M. Roe SueMHR@aol.com Seal Beach, CA A friend is one who comes in when the whole world has gone out. Anonymous

Susan, I have no particular interest. I sent the information because it may be meaningful to someone in Otsego Co. If I had an interest it would be to ask if the the Hartson family in general was an abolitiionist family since the judge had Republican tendencies. Also, because of his politics he would have been associated with Senator David C. Broderick who was killed in a duel with Sup. Ct. Judge, David Terry, because of Broderick's Republican tendencies [in 1857]. Broderick also was from N.Y., but N.Y. C. In this vein I actually may be in a better position in California though to find out more about Hartson's politics. Hope you enjoy and Thank you for your reply. marilyn SueMHR@aol.com wrote: >What is your interest in this family? Chancellor Hartson/Hartshorn is >connected to my Hartshorn line. Sue > >Susan M.

Memorial and Biographical History of Northern California. CHICAGO; THE LEWIS PUBLISHING COMPANY;1891. Illustrated, Containing a History of this Important Section of the Pacific Coast from the Earliest Period of its Occupancy to the Present Time, together with Glimpses of its Prospective Future; Full-Page Steel Portraits of its most Eminent Men, and Biographical Mention of many of its Pioneers and also of Prominent Citizens of To-day. "A people that takes no pride in the noble achievements of remote ancestors will never achieve anything worthy to be remembered with pride by remote descendents." - Macauley. HON. CHANCELLOR HARTSON, deceased, was born in Otsego County, New York, in 1824, his parents being Horace and Asenath (Lidell) Hartson. The Lidells were of English descent and had long lived in that State, and the family seat was Exeter, where the mother of our subject was born. The Hartsons were of Scotch ancestry, and the founders of the family in this country settled in New England. His grandparents on this side were John and Sybil (Hitchcock) Hartson. His father early engaged in the tanning business, but later in life established himself in agricultural pursuits. The subject of this sketch graduated at Madison University, New York State, and then at Fowler Law School, at Cherry Valley, in 1848. In 1850 he was admitted to the bar of the Supreme Court of New York. Came to California the same year. In July of the following year he came to Napa, where he at once entered upon the practice of law, and soon became popular. In September, 1851, he was elected to the office of District Attorney, and at the close of his term the people chose him for the more important position of county judge, which he filled with ability until 1858. In the meantime, in 1856, the Republican party first entered the field as a national organization, and Judge Hartson, who had previously been a Whig, threw the whole force of his strong nature into the service of the new party of progress. Almost alone he stood at that day a champion of the party's cause in the community, but his strength proved of untold benefit in the cause of Republicanism. He was a regular and interested reader of the New York Tribune, and as the tone of that paper was exceedingly radical in favor of the new party and indeed of abolition, the fact of his taking it caused murmuring and even threats among the extremists in the ranks of the opposition. Observing this, Judge Hartson sent for additional copies of the great journal, saying that if one copy of the Tribune causes such a commotion, he would like to see the effects of two dozen! which he subscribed for and distributed among the people; but the threats against him were not carried out. He felt that there were troublous times ahead for the country, and bent every energy to the task of building up a strong support for the Government, with the result that when the civil war came on he was conceded the greater part of the credit for the strong organization of the Republican party which then existed. In 1861 he was elected to the Lower House of the State Legislature, and when the Assembly was organized for the important work of that session, the "war Legislature," he was chosen Chairman of the Judiciary Committee. In 1862 he was elected to the State Senate, and in that body was also appointed by its president to the first place on the Judicial Committee. His record in the Legislature of California during these, the Nation's darkest hours, is a part of the State history; and his unselfish services were duly appreciated by the constituents who sent him there, and who, by their suffrages, kept him in the Senate continuously until 1866, when affairs again began to wear their former peaceful aspect. He then felt that he deserved a rest from his arduous labors in the public behalf, and returned to the practice of his profession, which had naturally suffered while he was in the Senate. The law claimed almost his entire attention until 1871, when, for the first time, he entered extensively into the fields of finance. In that year he aided in the establishment of the Bank of Napa, and upon its organization was elected president. He conducted the affairs of the bank with unusual executive ability until January 1, 1879, and his management gave it wide prestige. In the meantime he also took a prominent part in the organization of the Bank of Lake, at Lakeport, and of the board of directors of which he was for years a member. In 1879 W. J. Maclay was elected to the Assembly, but shortly afterward his death occurred. To fill the vacancy thus caused so much pressure was brought to bear upon Mr. Hartson, that, despite his earnest protestations, he was compelled to accept the nomination, which was heartily ratified by the people at the ensuing election. In this session of the Legislature, with the prestige of his former service and the advantages of the ripe judgment and mature mind he then possessed, he stood the peer of any man upon the floor of either House, and his natural ability as a shrewd financier came into splendid play upon the question of revenue and finance. His speech on Assembly Bill No. 404, embodying these subjects, was conceded to be the master effort of the session, and so great was the demand for it that an edition of 75,000, subsequently published, was in a very short time exhausted. An extract from this address, which will not be out of place in this connection, will give the reader an idea of the force and character of the man who uttered these sentiments: "I rise under deep feelings of embarrassment and regret, inspired principally by the painful recollection that in the advocacy of this great constitutional measure, I am in conflict with the wishes of many highly esteemed friends, in and out of this House, whose good will I crave, and for whose opinions I entertain the highest respect. Nothing but a strong sense of duty and a clear conviction of right has impelled me to take so decided a stand, and maintain it with whatever of vigor and ability I possess. So far as I am concerned, I have no trouble in so construing that language as to tax all credits, all stocks and all property. I am decidedly in favor of rolling back and off the industries and lands of this State, and back up on the bondholders and stockholders, the great burden of taxation that belongs to the latter class to bear. I came here to do a great constitutional duty. I promised the suffering men and women of my home, when elected, that I would stand up for their rights against power and wealth and prerogative. I am here by my voice to fulfill that promise. My judgment approves that measure, and the work done for its accomplishment is the work of my hand and my heart as well as my intellect." In November, 1880, Judge Hartson was re-elected to succeed himself in the Legislature, and took an active part in the sessions of that and the following year. In 1881 he received, at the hands of President Garfield, the appointment as Collector of Internal Revenue for San Francisco district, and filled out his term of office in a masterly manner. This was his last public position. His death, which occurred suddenly, September 25, 1889, was a shock to the community, and drew forth expressions of profound regret throughout the entire State. From the Napa Daily Register is taken the following account of the circumstances of his death: "About one o'clock, to-day, as Hon. Chancellor Hartson was passing from the library of his home into the sitting room, he fell to the floor as if in a faint, when a gentleman, who happened to be present, placed him upon a lounge and ran for a doctor. Meanwhile Mrs. Hartson worked incessantly over the loved and lifeless form of her husband with the restoratives she had at hand, but in vain. Drs. Wrightman and Hostetter soon arrived, and one glance at the ashen face of the prostrate man was enough to tell them that the vital spark had fled. "Mr. Hartson had been complaining of not feeling well for a week or more, but he was up and about all the time, engaged in the temperance work he had so cordially espoused, and no one had any idea that his end was so near-- that the rest he had so royally earned was at hand. Death was probably occasioned by paralysis of the heart." The eulogies recited after his death show forth a character of greatness and nobility and true integrity, such as falls to the lot of but few men. That those who knew and respected him in life may tell further of his history and characteristics, the following extracts are here given. In the course of the funeral address delivered by A. J. Nelson, D. D., pastor of the Epworth Church, San Francisco, that eloquent divine took occasion to say: "His life was an unceasing benediction to the community, the church and the State. In the history of the State, I find him in her legislative halls again and again, both in the Assembly and the Senate; the choice of the best people of the State more than once for Governor and for Congress. But he was no politician. Too honest to be a demagogue, too wise to be deceived by political tricksters, he preferred integrity to office, and manhood to money. But he left his impress on the political history of the State and party lie loved so well. "He was the friend of the common people. He stood like a wall of granite against political power, the influence of money, and the prerogatives of office and party. He was a financier of no ordinary ability, and had he loved money as he loved integrity, he would have been a millionaire. In every position he has occupied, he has shown himself the peer of any man in the management of the affairs of State. "He was a beneficent man as well as benevolent: his purse and heart were open alike to all good works. In the early history of your city he is found on the board of trustees of the Presbyterian Church. He was president of the board of directors for the Insane Asylum, and president of Napa County Bank. His name is bat a synonym for Napa College. On every board he was the chief brain and inspiration of all forward movements. He represented his own church at the last general conference held in New York city, in May, 1888. He took a part in the great debate-- the right of women to a seat in the general conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. He voted for and maintained with his usual enthusiasm the right of his sisters to a seat in the highest councils of his church. General conference elected him a member of the National Committee of the American Sabbath Union. "We admire a man that stands for something; some thought; some great principle; some party; some church. When such a man dies, the world loses something; his friends have something to bury, and posterity something to honor and to copy,--some incarnation of some living issue. "The evening work of his life was an original and well-planned assault on the saloons, that have blasted the hopes of thousands of families, and are the chief blight upon all the prospects of the State. He fell in the midst of his plans, a martyr to the cause; an overworked brain and a burdened heart which gave way under this great pressure. " He was my friend and brother: a truer heart never beat in the mortal bosom." Rev. John Coyle, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church of Napa city, and Rev. Richard Wylie, of the Napa Presbyterian Church, each delivered an eloquent address, in which they paid tribute to his many noble qualities of head and heart. The newspapers of the State expressed the general sorrow felt upon the death of Judge Hartson, and the following extracts are but expressive of the general tone: "Thus suddenly one of the most kingly of men has been summoned from earth. It is as if some grand temple had fallen--some mighty-oak had been twisted from its well-rooted foundation--and so sudden we are dazed by the unlooked-for blow. The eulogies that shall be spoken over his casket need no artificial force. They will partake of the sincere sorrow that dwells in every true heart that knew and appreciated Judge Hartson--the loyal head of a beloved home, the sympathizing friend of suffering humanity, the one out of the few who ever said by his acts, 'I dare do all that may become a man.' "Napa is in mourning, for she is in the shadow of a great affliction: her truest and best citizen is no more."--Napa Daily Register. "Judge Hartson was the most prominent figure in the social, political, and business history of Napa County. Without detracting in the least from the reputation of any pioneer or other resident of this community, we can truthfully say that Judge Hartson did more to advance Napa and her best interests than any man that ever lived among us. He was always at the front in any movement that was inaugurated to help this town or county; and although his eloquent tongue has done much for us, he was more a man of deeds than of words, and his hands were ever ready, and his purse ever open to help Napa's progress. And these acts were always done unostentatiously. In all his political life his aim was to do something for the whole people--not the classes in our country. Judge Hartson was a friend of the poor man, and spoke more kind words and did more charitable acts among the struggling poor than any man in the county. He was a public benefactor, and Napa County has, by his death, suffered the greatest loss that ever befell her."-- Napa Daily Reporter. ". In the death of Hon. Chancellor Hartson the State loses one of its most honored citizens. As a citizen, his integrity of purpose was unimpeachable, and as a politician he stood on the highest plane. He was honest in all his dealings, whether with men, the interests of the State, or her relations to political matters. He was a man of great force of character, and during many years of public life made a marked impression on the affairs of the State, always for the best interests of the commonwealth. His death causes sincere regret in all parties; and hundreds of intimate friends, familiar with his sterling traits of character, will regard his sudden death as a personal bereavement."-- Oakland Times. " The State of California has met with an irreparable loss in the death of Chancellor Hartson, which occurred at Napa yesterday. He was one of our ablest and purest men, and as a citizen, and a man of business, his equal is seldom found. As a lawyer Mr. Hartson was able, and as a public speaker he had few equals. His political record had no stain. As a business man he was a model. But those admired and loved him most who knew him as a true and unselfish friend."--Oakland Inquirer. These references to Judge Hartson show him to have been one of the strongest and truest of characters--a mighty power in whatever he participated. In his home life he was exceedingly happy, and a brief reference to his immediate family will be fitting in this connection. Mrs. Hartson was, previous to her marriage, which occurred January 26, 1854, Miss Electa Burnell. She is a native of Sinclairville, Chautauqua County. New York, and a daughter of Rev. Joel and Electa (King) Burnell, both of whom were natives of Massachusetts. After their marriage in that State, they removed to western New York, where they took up a large farm. While living there, Mr. Burnell studied law, was admitted to the bar, and afterward became Judge, in which capacity he served many years, being one of the leading men of western New York, and one of the most active figures in public, affairs though in no sense an office seeker. He afterward became a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, serving the churches throughout Chautauqua County, where he was loved and honored to a high degree. He and his wife both died in New York. Of their sons five grew to maturity, viz.: Madison, who became distinguished as one of the ablest jury lawyers of the nation; he died in 1865, in New York; Lorenzo, who followed the shipbuilding industry, and afterward was navigator, died in California, in 1857; Joel, who became a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, now resides at Eureka, where he supplies the local congregations; Ransom, a lawyer, came to California in 1850, practiced in the courts of this State served in its Legislature, and died in February, 1879; and Philo, a physician, died in 1857. Judge and Mrs. Hartson reared four children, viz.: Burnell C., Ernest, Channing and Daisy Asenath. Ernest died August 22, 1884, being thus cut off at an untimely age from what would have undoubtedly been a brilliant career. He was a lad of great promise, of an unusually manly demeanor, and gave evidence of signal musical ability in addition to other qualities, which made him a general favorite. He was the pride and almost constant companion of his father, who was grief-stricken beyond expression by the loss of his boy. He never recovered from the shock, and indeed his own death is thought by many to have been hastened by this cause. Extracted from Memorial and Biographical History of Northern California.

Newspaper microfilms in the collection of the New York State Library MAY be ordered for you by your local library. We would caution, however, that we believe the state library does not have the Oneonta Star on microfilm after 1974, yet. The ordering information may be found on the NYState Library website. If I were this person, I would contact the Librarian at the Daily Star directly and ask for a copy. They try to be very helpful. There may be a minimum charge. http://www.thedailystar.com/ Wishing you success, Leigh Leigh C.

I should check its policy now, but back in the '90s, when I lived in WA state, I ordered a newspaper (got my grandmother's obit) for about $5, the film coming to my library. Unfortunately, they later jacked the price up to $35 for out-of-staters, so haven't tried again. And my present library (a branch of the Los Angeles County System) though new and really up to date, has no microfilm reader at.

Is this a change in policy? For the past few years NYS residents could order films through interlibrary loan, but there was a nominal fee. Haven't done it for 2 years or so, but think it was between $1.25 and $2.25. However, it was only available to other libraries in NYS. I asked while in Albany at the library and archives doing research about loans to libraries in other states. Several of the librarians didn't know. One finally went and checked and said it was only available to libraries within the NYS library system. I asked because it would obviously of use to people who can't travel to NY state. It would be great if now people could order from other states. If it's not possible, maybe it's because the library system only has a set number of films, and can't allow them to be constantly traveling. Might be too expensive, also. Of course, the index is available to anyone for free online. Does anyone know for sure what the current policy is? ~Nancy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cliff" <cliff.hayes@earthlink.net> To: <NYOTSEGO-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, January 13, 2006 2:25 PM Subject: Re: [NYOTSEGO] Fred Loucks > This should help you find out what you want. > > Cliff Hayes > > > > > > > New York State Public Library Newspaper Collection > > > > The New York State Public Library in Albany, New York has a vast > collection of the newspapers published in the State going back into the > 1800s or further.

Would anyone know of an Elijah Butts? I have found this census record with him as head of household. 1850 Census Pittsfield, Otsego Co., New york M432_580 Image 587 page 292 Line 20 289/291 Elijah Butts, 60/m 1500 b. connecticut Jesse 29/m 500 b. new york Lucinda 33/f b. new york Rebecca 8/f b. new york Demetrius 7/m b. new york Charles 1/m b. new york Also listed in Lucinda Butts, who I've found that her maiden name is Lucinda Furbush. I'm hitting a brick wall with this mystery.

It just so happens that I've been immersed in some WWI letters over the weekend, and have a copy of the program for the dedication of the Memorial in Cooperstown. I'll send the full text to the Otsego web site, but here are the names. Sorry the format didn't hold up. In Memoriam Gold Star Mothers Harry J. Andrews Mrs. Viania O’Dell (deceased) F.

Gentle Friends- In many towns and villages in Otsego County there are similar monuments and markers. Some are on school walls (interior), some are on brass plaques mounted on boulders in parks, some are inside Post Offices, etc. My guess is that probably most hamlets, villages, towns and cities have at least one and perhaps more than one. Photographing and compiling those would be a wonderful project for someone for the new year....................... Think about it. Wishing you all a Happy and Healthy New Year, Leigh Leigh C.
