 Deaths in the New York Reformer, 
1850-1861  - Vol. 1

Richard W. Hungerford, Jr., compiler

The New York Reformer was published in Watertown, Jefferson County.  It covered an eight county-wide area: Herkimer, Jefferson, Lewis, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, Oswego and St. Lawrence.  This volume is a companion to the similarly titled, Marriages in the New York Reformer, 1850-1861.  Its extracted records are invaluable in a state whose official vital records did not begin until the early 1880's.  Newspapers are generally not extracted due to the laboriousness in handling hard-to-read newspapers on microfilm.  Sensational Stories in the New York Reformer, 1850-1861 is the third volume in the compiler's first series. 

235 pps., 8.5" x 11."  Soft-cover, coil bound, indexed.
Cost is $19.95 plus $5.00 postage.  Product number is #R002.
