I don't know why the URL for the newspaper did not come through in my last email. I definitely incuded it. I will retype it here for those who are interested. It is a digitized database of the Putnam County Courier, courtesy of the Mahopac Public Library. There's a gap in the years from 1882-1891, but still very useful. http://www.localarchives.org/mahopac/ Carol Norman cgnorm@earthlink.net
