Can anyone tell me if there were newspapers for Belmont County for May of 1864? I am trying to find an obit for a Hester A. EDDY. She was suppose to have died 11 May 1864. If anyone knows anything about the EDDY families of Belmont County, Ohio I would appreciate hearing from you. I am researching Isaac EDDY and Amanda JOHNSON EDDY. Isaac was a Civil War Vet with his son John K. EDDY. Isaac and Amanda had 11 children. Hester A. b. 1843 John K. b. 1845 Hannah J. b. 1846 William Morton b. 1847 Isaac N. b. 1849 Samuel L. b. 1851 Francis M. b. 1853 James F. b. 1856, James died at Aetna Mill in a terrible accident 28 April 1892 Samantha E. b. 1857 died 1857 Alexander J. b. 1860 Charles A. b. 1865 Any help would be more than appreciated.

Cindy, I was checking some books for Monroe Co. around that date looking for Hester and ran across this: Spirit of Democracy, 4 May 1864 Fatal Accident - We learn that Mrs. Mary Jane Eddy, a widow lady, living in the eastern part of this township was on Thursday, crushed by a horse falling upon her, and injured to such an extent that her life is dispaired of. Two horses were hitched to a wagon, when one of them got frightened and jumping against the other, knocked it down, pressing her beneath it to the ground. She remained in this position, one of the horses in its struggles frequently kicking her in the face, until a little girl who was present, ran a considerable distance and brought relief. This was abstracted in "Monroe County, Ohio Newspaper Abstracts, Vol. II" by Rita Bone Kopp. Also in the SOD paper, on 25 May 1864 was this: Settlement Accounts: ....Mary J. Eddy admr of Moses Eddy final. Abstracted in same book as above. Moses may have been her husband? Or father? Found this: SOD, 27 Sep 1865: Married 24 Aug by Geo. Caldwell Esq., Leonard Jackson & Mary J. Eddy Another one: SOD, 24 Jan 1866 Married 14 Jan by Rev. Bell, John Steed and Mrs. Mary Jane Eddy, all of county. SOD, 21 Feb 1866 Adam Eddy appt. adm of estate of Asel Eddy dec'd, 22 Nov 1866 SOD, 1 Jan 1867 Adam Eddy admr of Asel Eddy, estate declared insolvent 18 Dec 1866.

Cindy, The Ohio historical Society lists two newspapers for that time period. You can search their newspaper holdings at http://dbs.ohiohistory.org/newspaper/home.cfm Hope this helps!
