Hello,

I probably haven't mentioned the extended DEXTER families in Killingly for a few years. I hope there is information in the archives of this Board. If not, there is a lot of my postings in the archives of the CT-Windham List.

I am always looking for information on Abner and Clara (DEXTER) YOUNG, and their descendants. But, this week I'd like to ask if there is a way to obtain a death-notice or obituary for the couple.

From my 2009 posting on the List:

** In this YOUNG document there is the following:

"Clara Allen (Dexter) Young died 27 Jan. 1937. at Killingly .. at age 80.
This was about a year prior to the death of Abner .... It was through the
Dexter family line that much genealogical information was obtained,
inasmuch as Marvin A. Dexter, her grandfather, collected considerable
information during his lifetime about Dexters, and it has been published
separately by another researcher. (Newman, 1859) That work delineated
the Dexter line back to Gregory Dexter, ...."

..
I'll try to write a letter to the Killingly Historical Society during the week.
