COLEMAN CLIPPINGS, Part 3

These clippings were contributed by Dorathy and Alan Hardie. As Dorathy sorts through her large collection to find items for the Coleman Clippings online scrapbook she'll be organizing them for future use - "This project has really spurred me on to get things done. The newspaper clippings, etc. are so old & fragile that it is time this was done & the papers preserved. " In doing so, Dorathy will be sharing with us the types of items we wish had been passed down to us.

This month's set of Coleman Clippings consists of abstracts of legal and official documents pertaining to the Coleman Family of Sodus Centre. These are excellent examples of the type of information that can be gleaned from leases, bonds, business agreements, Letters of Administration and other legal documents. Early deeds and mortagages generally cite the names of surrounding property owners. If anyone is interested in a copy or full transcript of the following documents you may contact: Dorathy & Alan Coleman Hardie at adhardie@sprynet.com
