Katherine Coughlin Update and MORE!

I cannot state my love for Northern New York Historical Newspapers enough.  I decided to check to see if there was any mention of my paternal great grand aunt (or 2nd great aunt if you prefer), Katherine "Katie" Coughlin's death in 1913.  I searched and found one line about her funeral.  But I had to laugh as there were also mentions for the my maternal grand aunt (Mamie Duprey Willis) and her husband (Thomas Willis)  and the second wife of my maternal great grand uncle (Mary Sawyer Duprey).

I love small town newspapers!! In this section alone I have information on my paternal AND maternal lines!!

And to connect the dots, Mamie Duprey Willis is the daughter of Eugene Duprey whose brother is Elmer Duprey (both sons of Charles Duprey but that's for another post!!)
