Can someone tell me how I can find a reprint of an obit from the Oneida Dispatch for March 13, 1874 for Mrs. Mary (James) PINNEY, age 88. The time I visited there the papers were not available to copy and the Hist. Society said this might be all that was in the original obit but I would like to pursue it further.
Thanks for any help. Joyce Batchelor

I am seeking info on Mary STEBBINS, she married Leverett REXFORD. I have birth info on Mary but no death date, possibly bef. 25 September 1823 in Madison county, New York.

I am saying this date because he married his second wife and his second child was born 25 Sep. 1823.
thanks,
