....NECROLOGICAL LIST FROM 1869 Among my wanderings through the Syracuse Daily Journal newspaper in microfilm, I came across this, while looking for something else. I transcribed it, knowing its value for genealogy, pre-official NYS vital records (1881 for most of the state). I have the full text of the article, though the copy is very dark and difficult to read. --Nat Siembor The Syracuse Daily Journal, Sept 7, 1869 p 3 col 2 The following named persons, who were to some extent identified with the early settlement of Onondaga county, have died during the past year. The List is imperfect, and is chiefly confined to Onondaga county, as the committee has no means of ascertaining the names of those who belonged to other counties. If this record is thought worthy of preservation, additions can be made to it:-- CAMILLUS

DEWITT
ELBRIDGE
GEDDES
