I've been "away" from the Portage County research for a couple of years, so I thought I'd resubscribe and say hello again. I have a copy of "Portage County, Ohio Newspaper Obituary Abstracts 1825-1870" by Michael Clegg, 1982 with over 3000 listings and would be glad to do lookups in it for anyone. My Kings came to Portage County in about 1807 and include many other lines such as Harmon, Selby, Bancroft, Knowlton, and many others. Hope to hear form you.

Thanks for this wonderful offer. I'm interested in any record of death for the following, who I believe died in Portage County. HOSKIN/HOSKINS: Milo, died 1866 Sidney, died 3 Oct 1832 (a 1 yr old child, so there may not be an obit) Lucy Angela Barton Hoskin died 13 April 1859 in Shalersville Any other Hoskin/Hoskins if you can. Hoping to find Milo's parents, whoever they were. PLATT: Joseph (appears on the 1850 census as 73 years old, so probably died before 1860) Elcy/Elsie was 78 in 1850, so again, probably died before 1860 Thanks again.

Jerry: Are you kidding? I'm thrilled that you get to hear from me! I'd really appreciate a lookup for any of the following variations of this name: Treaster, Triester, Trester, Traster, Traister, Treyster, Tiester, and anything else you can imagine! Looking for an obit for John Treaster's wife, first name could be Sarah, but not sure. Sometime between 1825 and 1841. He remarried in 1841 in Portage County, so I'm hoping that is where the first wife died. Thanks so much for your kind offer - and welcome back!

Gerald, Allow me to add my thanks for your kind offer, and to make a request: I am especially interested in an obituary for Andrew FELLER, who d. between 1840-1850, most likely in 1844 or 1845. The surname is sometimes found as FELLERS, and even as FELLOW or FELLOWS. The given name is sometimes found as Andreas. I would also welcome information about any other persons with this surname whose obits are abstracted in the book you have.
