  Notes	From William G. Sprague, correspondent, note of February19, 2012 Here is my theory on Amelia. She originally came from theSullivan County area, but her parents moved to MiddletownNY. Her mother may have died during child birth in anyevent she had an aunt and uncle in Bethel who she visitedand eventually lived with during the one census. While atBethel she met and married Fred Linson and then died atchild 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 Betheland White Lake. [3] (Research):From Jane Sanderman Mason, correspondent, note of September26, 2012 The newspaper clipping submitted by correspondent Wm. G.Sprague reports Amelia is living in Orange county but hasfriends in Bethel and White Lake.  That made me wonderif she was originally from Bethel. Looking at the state census for 1875 shows an Amelia G. ofthe approx. right age. 1875 New York State census Sullivan county BethelED2P9  10JuneJames N.?

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