Hello everybody in the Philly area. In 1860, was there a newspaper in the Jenkintown / Ambler / Upper Dublin Township which would have published obituaries? I have the death notice of George Casner BATES, who died near Three Tuns, published in the Norristown Herald and Free Press, Tuesday, September 11 1860. "" On the 1st of September, George BATES, of Upper Dublin, in the 73d yr of his age."" The docent at Montgomery County Historical Society suggested that I find a newspaper, then in the Jenkintown area, which might have published an obituary. Since George owned a lot of acreage at the time of his death, he must have been noticed in the community. Hopefully, the obituary , if it exists, will tell me where he was buried. My aside: The newspaper might not have his age exactly correct. It would depend upon his birthday in the year of birth and death. [Supposedly 1787] This man [my gr gr grandfather] and his family [2 wives, 15 children] are proving to be elusive spirits. Any suggestions will be most welcome. Ruth in GA
