Good Morning Joyce,
Attached are 480 names mentioned in Elmira Telegram  in the year 1890.  At the end of the year the paper did a review of the year.  I have typed this in Excel. Most of these are deaths but some other incidents are also mentioned. Hope you can find good use for this on the site. The site is looking wonderful!
