Obituaries & Death Notices Steubenville Jefferson County, Ohio 1880-1884 By Leila Francy INTRODUCTION This book holds records from 1880-1884, a period of five years. Originally these notes were copied directly from the newspapers quoted onto 3 x 5 file cards. This process took place over a period of several years. Eventually these cards took up so large amount of storage space that I determined to concentrate the information into book form. Unfortunately I began this consolidation when my sight was beginning to fade, so that proof reading was poorly done, and consequently the chance of copying errors were thus multiplied. My intent in preparing these cards was not to include all information contained in the papers, but to provide enough information so that the reader could determine which references were worth looking up in the original papers or in the concentrated books and boxes of clippings I had prepared. In these collections, it is often possible to find 2 or 3 mentions of the person on the same page, so care should be taken to find them all. Information given sometimes varies, so it will be necessary to give extra consideration to some of these. Leila S. Francy At the end of each entry are notations such as "Bk. pp, 12, 16." These notations refer to books and files which are in the author's personal collection. Complete information from these citations are available on various Steubenville newspapers. These are available on microfilm at the Schiappa Branch Library, Steubenville, oH. -1- ABERCROMBIE, mrs.
