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!
