Vital records in New York State weren't recorded by the state until 1880. For early vital records you have to either find church records or hope that the event is recorded in the newspaper. For the time period of this page, there were these newspapers published in Rochester:
The records on this page are extracted as published in the newspaper. Small monthly calendars are included to help when a newspaper record states that an event happened "last week Thursday."
You may wonder about birth records. Except for a few rare birth notices, birth records were not published until the mid twentieth century.
Two abbreviations that appear frequently in these old records are; inst. and ult. Their meanings are inst. = instant, an old word meaning this month and ult. = ultimo meaning last month.

In this city, on Sunday last, Mrs. Mary Ann, wife of Mr. Elias Weed, in the 24th year of her age. The death of Mrs. W. was that of a Christian, For nearly four years she had been a professor of religion; but it was during the last six months that the refining influence of Christianity was peculiarly manifested in her character. At the commencement of last autumn, her prospect of life was bright. But at that time, a penitence, deep and pungent, on account of her stinted growth in grace was exercised. It seemed to be the feeling of an humble and contrite heart, wherein God abides, for afterwards her's was an eagle flight towards the summit of holiness. Earth's charms had faded. The soul panted for her heavenly home. Many, indeed, were the ties to bind her to this world; but her longings for God were like those og the thirty hart for the water-brook. The heaven-born spirit daily ripened for the abode of the blessed. The prayer for patience would be speedily followed by the rapturous invocation, "Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly!" Her experience exhibited the value of the religion of Jesus. It sustained in a protracted affliction: in the separation from those who were dearly loved—in the closing scene. The exhortation "Weep not for me." though disobeyed by survivors, was appropriate. The captive is unchained; the wanderer is a home; the spirit, loosed from its clog, gazes upon celestial scenes, and repeats with peaus of heaven. In this city, on the 5th inst. of the Croup, Emaris Hope, daughter of Mr. Asahel Pratt, aged 2 years and 2 months. In Covington, on the 22d ult. of consumption, William James Ticknor, late editor of the Livingston Journall, aged about 23 years. |

March 25, 1837 DIED. After a short illness, at the Institution for the Education of the Blind, in Boston, Miss Martha Granger, of this city, aged 19. The Boston Gazette of the 12th March gives the following OBITUARY NOTICE: Among the most interesting pupils of the Institution for the Education of the Blind in this city, was one whose name is recorded in the sad list of deaths in this paper. She was indeed a lovely and exemplary character; and the weakness and cheerfulness with which she bore her affliction; the industry and zeal she displayed in acquiring knowledge in spite of her infirmity, may teach a useful lesson to many who have all their senses, but neglect to improve them. She was the darling object of a fond mother's attentions, and though at home every physical want was supplied, and every kindness lavished upon her that friend could bestow; yet when she heard that many hundreds of miles off a school was opened, where she might learn to read and receive instruction, she resolved to go to it. Neither the difficulties of travel, nor the fear of being left. blind as she was, among total strangers, could damp her ardour. But once arrived here, her sweetness of disposition and kindness of heart, won her warm friends; while her rapid advance in all her studies, and her proficiency in music secured the interests of her teachers. Only two weeks ago she was blooming in health, she had beauty (which not even her infirmity had effaced) she was buoyant in spirits, and full of hope; but the destroyer came—and in a few days she was a corpse. We have seldom witnessed a more affecting scene. than the funeral of this interesting blind girl presented. The ceremony was in the Rotunda of the Institution; many ladies and gentlemen besides Trustees and Officers were present; and there was an appropriateness and solemnity of spirit in the assembled which showed how valued and beloved she had been. The corpse was placed in front of the organ; on one side were ranged the blind girls, companions of the deceased, on the other the boys. They first sang a solemn hymn; and then the Rev. Mr. Blagden addressed them in a most touching and appropriate manner. After the solemn prayer, the children sang with much pathos the following lines,—though we observed the feelings of the girls, were so much excited, they could hardly articulate:— Come! let us raise a plaintive song, And all our sports give o'er; Stern death hath been our ranks among. Our Sister is no more! One voice is wanting to our choir; We miss one loved one's tread; One seat is vacant round our fire: Our Sister Martha's dead!— But, louder strike a joyful strain! Sweet hope the Gospel gives, That now, released from care and pain, In Heaven our Sister lives! The corpse was then removed and the last sad rites of interment performed. It was a touching tribute to virtue and worth, to see that a poor blind girl far away from her natural relations should have excited the strong friendship and warm sympathy of which this ceremony and the grief manifested by those attending gave such striking evidence. |

DIED. After a short illness, at the Institution for the Education of the Blind, in Boston, Miss Martha Granger, of this city, aged 19. The Boston Gazette of the 12th March gives the following OBITUARY NOTICE: Among the most interesting pupils of the Institution for the Education of the Blind in this city, was one whose name is recorded in the sad list of deaths in this paper. She was indeed a lovely and exemplary character; and the weakness and cheerfulness with which she bore her affliction; the industry and zeal she displayed in acquiring knowledge in spite of her infirmity, may teach a useful lesson to many who have all their senses, but neglect to improve them. She was the darling object of a fond mother's attentions, and though at home every physical want was supplied, and every kindness lavished upon her that friend could bestow; yet when she heard that many hundreds of miles off a school was opened, where she might learn to read and receive instruction, she resolved to go to it. Neither the difficulties of travel, nor the fear of being left. blind as she was, among total strangers, could damp her ardour. But once arrived here, her sweetness of disposition and kindness of heart, won her warm friends; while her rapid advance in all her studies, and her proficiency in music secured the interests of her teachers. Only two weeks ago she was blooming in health, she had beauty (which not even her infirmity had effaced) she was buoyant in spirits, and full of hope; but the destroyer came—and in a few days she was a corpse. We have seldom witnessed a more affecting scene. than the funeral of this interesting blind girl presented. The ceremony was in the Rotunda of the Institution; many ladies and gentlemen besides Trustees and Officers were present; and there was an appropriateness and solemnity of spirit in the assembled which showed how valued and beloved she had been. The corpse was placed in front of the organ; on one side were ranged the blind girls, companions of the deceased, on the other the boys. They first sang a solemn hymn; and then the Rev. Mr. Blagden addressed them in a most touching and appropriate manner. After the solemn prayer, the children sang with much pathos the following lines,—though we observed the feelings of the girls, were so much excited, they could hardly articulate:— Come! let us raise a plaintive song, And all our sports give o'er; Stern death hath been our ranks among. Our Sister is no more! One voice is wanting to our choir; We miss one loved one's tread; One seat is vacant round our fire: Our Sister Martha's dead!— But, louder strike a joyful strain! Sweet hope the Gospel gives, That now, released from care and pain, In Heaven our Sister lives! The corpse was then removed and the last sad rites of interment performed. It was a touching tribute to virtue and worth, to see that a poor blind girl far away from her natural relations should have excited the strong friendship and warm sympathy of which this ceremony and the grief manifested by those attending gave such striking evidence. |

Hyde, formerly of Lenox, Bershire county, Mass., aged 70 years. Maintaining, through life, undying faith in Christ, she envinced, to the last, that generous and charitable principle of living, not for herself but for others. Passing through the ordeal of intense bodily suffering without a murmur, with great composure, and the most perfect submission to the will of God, apparently regardless of her own suffering, her efforts, to the last moment, were employed in directly for the present and especially future well-being of those she was about to leave—admonishing them of the necessity of a preparation for the great change she was about to experience—pointing them to the brighter prospects of that happier home, after which she had so long panted. A few moments before she expired, when apparently in the last agony of expiring nature, she was asked if she wished to die? She replied: "God is merciful; if it is His will, it would be a great relief for me to be away." Her hour came. The sun of her earthly existence went down in the fulness of hope. Her spiritual chariot is wafted to that land where "the wicked cease from trouble and the weary are at rest." "May our last end be like her's" — Communicated. |
