I just received the wonderful book put out by the Jefferson County Gen.
Society, Deaths From Jefferson County Newspapers 1866-1920 and now I have a
couple of questions. The notices were taken from the Leader and the
Jefferson Democrat . Is the Jefferson Democrat the Hillsboro newspaper and
what town is the Leader from? In looking at the book, I know that not all
death notices are in it . I have looked at the Hillsboro newspaper for a
particular death notice and it is not in it and if the Leader covered the
Morse Mill area also, I would like to know where to send for microfilm for
the year 1903.

One other question, I have been avidly reading all the cemetary information
posted by Desoto Joe, but since I know that 3 of the burials I am looking
for, probably in the Bethleham Church cemetary, are in unmarked graves, I am
wondering if that church has kept written records of people buried there.

I think most of my Manion family were members of that church and I would
also like to know if anyone has written a history of the church and if it is
available.

Thanks
Martha Benson
