Hi, I am searching for obits for Joseph Gans died April 1835 and for his wife, Christina (Moser) Gans. I have different death dates for her, April 1833/35 or March 10, 1833. Any idea which paper they might have been in ? Thanks, Joyce (Lyons) Heigel

The Herald traces its ancestry to the Fayette Gazette and Union Advertiser, which had its first issue on Jan. 12, 1798, published by Jacob Stewart and C. Mowry. This was just 12 years after the first newspaper in western Pennsylvania, the Pittsburgh Gazette, was started. In 1805, in a burst of patriotic zeal, it was renamed the Genius of Liberty, a name which would endure throughout the 19th century and into the first half of the 20th. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Heigel" <jheigel@sweetwaterhsa.com> To: <PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: [PAFAY] Obits > Hi, > > I am searching for obits for Joseph Gans died April 1835 and for his > wife, Christina (Moser) Gans.

The Standard descends from the Pennsylvania Democrat and Literary Gazette, which first appeared on July 25, 1827. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Joyce Heigel" <jheigel@sweetwaterhsa.com> To: <PAFAYETT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, July 10, 2006 6:12 PM Subject: [PAFAY] Obits > Hi, > > I am searching for obits for Joseph Gans died April 1835 and for his > wife, Christina (Moser) Gans.
