Births, Marriages & Deaths from the Carbon Advocate, 1880-1881 This

Births, Marriages & Deaths From The Carbon Advocate, 1880-1881 This is the fourth in a series of vital records extracted from the Lehighton Newpaper, The Carbon Advocate. Like the previous parts, in extracting the births, marriages & deaths, I have not included the following types of items: 1. Items that did not pertain to Carbon or the surrounding counties. I excluded anything west and south of Berks County, and south of Lehigh & Northampton Counties. I generally included anything north of Carbon county. 2. Estate notices. 3. Murder trials. 4. Coroner inquests when they are not part of the original death notice. In extracting these records, I have copied items as completely and exactly as possible. I have not attempted to correct any spelling errors. If I felt a need to add any text, I did so in brackets. Although most of the papers on microfilm were easy to read, there were some times where the image quality made things difficult. Because of this, researchers are advised to consult the original records. Volume 8, Number 6, Saturday, January 3, 1880 Local and Personal.
