Genealogical Information From the Hinsdale Doings

Barbara Ryan

The abstracts contain not only births, marriages, and deaths, but also information from "gossip" columns that would be helpful in searching for ancestors. This includes "visits" that include a relationship or different surname that includes the relationship. Some listings are abstracts, others in which the articles were very short include the full text. Obvious spelling errors are not corrected but followed by "[sic]". Generally, other spelling, abbreviation, capitalization, and punctuation, especially the use of, or lack of, commas, is left as in the original article. The date at the end of the listing is the date of the issue of the newspaper. The volume and number are shown at the first listing for the date. When the same information was reported in several issues, the information was only included once. When additional important information was included in a later issue, for example, out of town relatives at a funeral, the information is shown in "[]" with the issue date. The ¶ symbol in an abstract indicates the information following was in a separate article in the same issue. A Western Springs column was started in 1897 and apparently ended with the September 3, 1898, column. The newspapers are available on microfilm at Hinsdale Public Library but will not be loaned on interlibrary from there. The microfilm can be borrowed on interlibrary loan from the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library in Springfield, Illinois. Continued from The Review Vol. 34, Number 2, November 2007 issue.
