I will see if I could pull up more information on the difference for you. It could be useful information when looking. Westchester County is separated into different municipalities or sections/areas. Then in some cases there are sections/areas with in that. I am pretty sure that Ossining is a Town & Village. Which would mean that there in a sence 2 Ossinings if it makes any sence.

Ossining is comprised of a Town and a Village. Until a few years ago, they maintained separate vital records. A few years ago, the office of Town Clerk and Village Clerk were combined into one position. I haven't done any research here in Ossining since this combining of positions, but I would imagine the current Town Clerk would have access to both set of records. However, I don't believe that the Town and/or Village at any point in time would have retained copies of older newspapers. To the best of my knowledge, that has been done by the Ossining Historical Society. If they list in their card file that there is an Obit for Mathew McCabe, they would be the most likely place in Ossining to locate it. The card file is nothing more than abstracts of the contents of the obituary. Do you know if they checked their SURNAME files for a McCABE file? Perhaps there is a copy of the obituary filed in that file, or there may be other information contained in that file as well. As for any records maintained by the Fire Department, do you know which Company he was a member of? Your question might best be directed to that Company. I live in Ossining, if you need further help in Ossining, contact me off-list. Deborah ItalianRose1910@aol.com wrote: > Do you know where he died?
