Both books were produced by the Archives & History Ministry Team of the Western Pennsylvania Conference of The United Methodist Church. See the INTRODUCTION to the latter named book for a brief history of The Advocate. Our sincere appreciation is expressed to Betty Anne Stroup, A & H Secretary and Genealogist, who expended innumerable hours reading the microfilm from which these records were obtained. In compiling this material Betty Anne confined her searches to the marriages and deaths which were reported and published for the years 1834 through 1855. The microfilm was made available by Pelletier Library, Allegheny College, Meadville, Pennsylvania. All pertinent data have been included for more than 3,000 deaths. Generally, names of persons and places are spelled as they were found in the original. A Surname Index and some Sample Records supplement the alphabetically arranged records. We express thanks also for the assistance of William Waybright, A & H Archivist, as well as to Naomi Horner and David Grinnell, Ministry Team members. Helen G.
