OBITUARIES IN MONTGOMERY CO., NY NEWSPAPERS

 

Obituaries submitted by Nelson Ambridge

 

Arranged and Indexed by Cliff Lamere    Oct 2000

 

 

The following index is an every name index, plus more.  The deceased and all other persons mentioned in the obituary are indexed, including reverends.  For wives, the maiden names are supplied in parentheses (  ) when it is obvious from the context of the obituary (ex., daughter is Mrs. Mary Jones), or in brackets [  ] when the person posting the obituary has independent knowledge of the woman's maiden name.  Married women (ex. Mrs. Luke Schaefer) will be listed in the index under both married and maiden names whenever possible.  When a woman's maiden name is unknown, but it is apparent that the name shown is her married name, a blank maiden name may be supplied such as (--).  

 

Persons are indexed by their name, not by their titles such as Mrs., Rev., and Sister.  The titles are at the end of the index entry.

 

An asterisk  *  after a name in the index indicates a person for whom there is an obituary.

 

By clicking on any name in the index, you will be taken to the beginning of the obituary in which the name occurs.  [Hint:  If you hold your cursor over a name in the index, you may see at the bottom of the screen, whose obituary the name is mentioned in.  At least this works for Internet Explorer and Netscape users.]  Sometimes the same person is mentioned in two obituaries.  That results in two entries in the index for that person, with each entry taking you to a different obituary.  I have tried to make this index the most useful that I could make it.

 

The place of death will be stated at the end of the obituary if this fact is mentioned in the obituary or if the person submitting the obituary has independent knowledge of the place.

 

For 1881-1950, the NYS Archives in Albany has microfiche on which the place of death can be checked.

 

The flowers on the border are Forget-Me-Nots.
