Dear Denise...........Thank you so much for your reply. I was unaware there was such a book. I would be interested in any obituaries for the name Rightmire. I would be especially interested in James and Elizabeth Rightmire. I beleive they had the following children, but am looking for documentation for that fact as well as any information on the Rightmire family. Alice Benjamin Rightmire married Martha Holt in Coshocton County Dec 12 1833. They are buried in Hardin County The rest were married in Knox County James Rightmire Jr married Lydia Critchfield, 28 Feb 1833. Harrison Rightmire married Amy Critchfield 18 Apr 1840 William Rightmire married Lucinda Welker 24 July 1835 John Rightmire married Anna (Hannah) Critchfield 9 Jan 1834 Probably buried in Illinois Isaac Rightmire died at age 23 in Knox Co Sept 27 1842 Sarah Rightmire married Moses Thompsen 5 Apr 1832 Mahala Rightmire married John Trott 27 Feb 1848 Jane Rightmire married David Harrod in 1834 Elizabeth Rightmire married John Madden 25 Feb 1836. ----- Original Message ----- From: Crawford <crawford@futureone.com> To: <OHKNOX-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2000 7:19 AM Subject: Re: newspapers and obituaries > Alice, > > I don't know if you ever got a reply - but I have the book published for > Knox co - 'Knox xounty, Ohio Obituaries vol.1 1818-1889' > > Do you need a look-up? > > Denise Crawford > ----- > > > In the State where I live the State Historical Society maintains a > library that is a repository for the States newspapers.
