Notes by Cliff Lamere:

The Hudson Evening Register was probably published five or more days per week.  For the year 1912, Margaret selected 13 days which had a large number of social notes (for many issues, the notes were few).  Most social notes, but not all, were transcribed for those 13 dates.   Sometimes a note will say that something happened last Tuesday, so here is a list of the newspapers showing the day of the week:

 

Apr 19     Wednesday

May 9     Thursday

May 22   Wednesday

Jun 26     Wednesday

Jul 25      Thursday

Jul 31      Wednesday

Aug 29    Thursday

Sep 18     Wednesday

Sep 25     Wednesday

Oct 16     Wednesday

Oct 30     Wednesday

Oct 19     Tuesday

 

When you browse from one date to the next, you will notice a change of the font color.
