Dear All

	I have a feeling I should know the answer to this, but don't.
	How were families in upstate New York notified when loved 
ones in the Civil War were killed.
	I cannot imagine a soldier coming to the door; rather, I 
think it must have been a telegram.

	Could anyone tell me?

	with much appreciation

	Carol Kammen
	Tompkins County Historian
