Dear Dale, The Point Pleasant Register was in business at the time of both of these deaths. The Mason County Library has some microfilms of the old papers and may have them from those dates. When I was there in September, I found it fascinating to read some of them, but did not have enough time to get ALL of the information I wanted. Also, the Clerk of Courts office has records for those time frames also.

What newspapers were operating in Hartford City then? Or is there anyone on the List who could do a look-up for me? Any help would be appreciated.
