Marriages and Deaths from Rochester Newspapers
July 1, 1831 - Dec. 31, 1831
Vital records in New York State weren't recorded by the state until 1880. For early vital records you have to either find church records or hope that the event is recorded in the newspaper. For the time period of this page, there were these newspapers published in Rochester:
Note that some of the films have been scratched and some pages are out of focus so there are some illegible records.
The records on this page are extracted as published in the newspaper. Small monthly calendars are included to help when a newspaper record states that an event happened "last week Thursday."
You may wonder about birth records. Except for a few rare birth notices, birth records were not published until the mid twentieth century.
Two abbreviations that appear frequently in these old records are; inst. and ult. Their meanings are inst. = instant, an old word meaning this month and ult. = ultimo meaning last month.

In this village, on Thursday last, Eli Blair, aged 40 years, and Abby his wife, aged 35 years. The circumstances connected with the death of these individuals, were very peculiar. — They were both taken sick on the same day—with the same disease—and died within seven hours of each other. Mr. Blair was taken unwell in New-York, and returned home sick, At the time of his arrival, he found his wife in much the same state of disease, as himself. Soon after, they both confined to their beds, from which, after a few days of suffering. they were removed to the same grave. Their funerals were attended on Saturday last and we never witnessed a more affecting spectacle.—W. (Lyons) Argus. At Henrietta on the 11th inst., Mrs. Civil P., wife of Mr. Gurdon Ellis, aged 34.

Its consolations she enjoyed in her last illness and in the firm hope of a blessed immortality she could cheerfully leave her little ones with her afflicted partner to follow her. Her anxious solicitude for the spiritual welfare of her surviving friends, and the afflicting desire she expressed. |

In his native state he was repeatedly elected to the state and national legislatures, and while in Congress, he occupied a proud and elevated stand among those who were pre-eminent for talent.
