  Notes	From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of February 19, 2012 Here is my theory on Amelia. She originally came from the Sullivan County area, but her parents moved to Middletown NY. Her mother may have died during child birth in any event she had an aunt and uncle in Bethel who she visited and eventually lived with during the one census. While at Bethel she met and married Fred Linson and then died at child birth herself and was buried in Evergreen Cemetery. Fred remarried and is buried with his second wife. Bill Here is a little something I found in newspaper archives: Middletown Daily Argus, Middletown, NY, Saturday, Aug. 3, 1895, Page 5: Amelia Sprague of Middletown is visiting friends at Bethel and White Lake. [3] (Research): From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of September 26, 2012 The newspaper clipping submitted by correspondent Wm. G. Sprague reports Amelia is living in Orange county but has friends in Bethel and White Lake.  That made me wonder if she was originally from Bethel. Looking at the state census for 1875 shows an Amelia G. of the approx. right age. 1875 New York State census Sullivan county Bethel ED2P9  10June James N.?

Fred moved to Ohio but I am wondering if perhaps he and Amelia moved to Ohio and then her body was returned for burial in New York. Ohio Marriage Record [image online] name:       Fred M.
