Deaths in many places reported in the Boston Recorder and Telegraph, 1827 & 1828/ compiled and arranged by Elizabeth Hayward

Note

Typescript.

"The periodical that was used was The Boston Recorder and Telegraph, a non-denominational religious weekly edited by Nathaniel Willis and Asa Rand. Thanks to the generosity of the owner of a file for 1827, the compiler was able to use it at her home. From it were copied all death notices, whether appearing under Deaths, Domestic Intelligence or Annals of Intemperance. These entries were then alphabetized and cross references from maiden names inserted. The user of the following pages will find all surnames in a single alphabet"--Foreword, P. 1.

"...It should be noted that the date given at the close of each entry is the date of publication, not the date of death"--Foreword, P. 1.

"The large number of deaths reported outside of Boston may be due to the fact that the periodical's editors were in correspondence with clergymen all over the world. The list has no geographical limits, for deaths are chronicled in all 26 of the then-existing states, in Canada, at sea and abroad. Boston, as is this weekly, was indeed 'The Hub'--Foreword.
