Hello, again!
(Thanx to all of you who made suggestions on my question concerning
locating an old genealogical study!)
I have two questions about the Maryland Archives.
First, I am interested in finding an old Chancery Court Record from early
Frederick County. As best I understand it, after studying the MD Archives
listing, it would run roughly fifty pages. I understand they charge $2.00
per page. That is an expensive undertaking for something that may have the
information I am looking for -

yesterday as part of my genealogy research and it only says that he died:
"DIED August 3rd, in Frederick, HARRY STAIR, infant son of Herman F. and
O.L. Steiner, aged 8 months and (hard to read - looks like 3) days." Along
with ones for Bushrod W. Young and William Bentz.
It would be interesting to know where to find the news article about the
