Various Births

The births included here are transcribed from a scrapbook containing newspaper clippings for births,
deaths, and marriages, probably from the Rome Sentinel. The collection, which covers the years
1896 to 1915, focuses on Vernon, Westmoreland, and Rome ("this city"). Information shown in
brackets was added by the scrapbook creator or the transcriber, when noted. Question marks
within the text indicate that the date or name was difficult to read.
