DEATHS 1856 – 1865 gleaned from The Pittsburgh Christian Advocate published by Archives & History Ministry Team Western Pennsylvania Conference The United Methodist Church Cranberry Twp., PA 16066 2005 Library of Congress Catalogue Card Number: 2005925734 All rights reserved Reprint 2017 INTRODUCTION DEATHS 1856-1865 is a companion volume to MARRIAGES 1856-1865, published in 2004. Both supplement our two previous publications: MARRIAGES 1834-1855 and DEATHS 1834-1855. All records have been gleaned from the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate using the microfilm copies at Smeltzer-Bell Research Center, Pelletier Library, Meadville, PA. Several issues are missing on the microfilm. Not all data for every obituary have been included in this publication. Many entries are very lengthy and contain numerous details, while others have only minimum facts. (See Appendix) The date after each record indicates the issue of the Pittsburgh Christian Advocate in which the death notice appeared, e.g. [23 February 1858]. A copy of any complete obituary may be obtained from [email protected]. Researchers from Eastern Ohio, Western Virginia, Southwestern New York, as well as from Pennsylvania, will find many names of interest since news items from this vast territory were printed in the Advocate at that time. Especially noteworthy are the numerous reports of servicemen who died during the Civil War (1861-1865). A number of veterans of the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812 are also identified A Surname Index is provided, following the main text, for all names not mentioned in the alphabetized record. It adds much information, especially when needing to locate maiden names of the deceased. Also browse the Appendix. A map displays the geographical extent of the Original Pittsburgh Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church and presents a clear picture of the information from which these thousands of obituaries were obtained.
