Abstracts of an 1839 Rochester, N. Y., paper made by Jim Miller. Please read the following if you have any questions. This website will contain abstracts of the Daily Sun , published in Rochester, N. Y., as I find the time to type them. Persons finding the names of ancestors in these pages are free to drop me a line and ask for a copy of the full article that their ancestor is mentioned in and I will send one as soon as I can. I have no index.
All names are in bold red type .
I strongly suggest searching for surnames only, as first names are usually listed in the paper as just initials . In 1922, My grandfather, William John Miller, came to Rochester New York. He soon found a job at the now defunct Post Express and later worked for other area papers as a court reporter. When he died in 1988, the book passed to my parents and still sits in our bookcase today. Inside are the thin, yellowing sheets of a newspaper called the Daily Sun that was published in Rochester in 1839.
