Abram France b. abt 1825 from Wilbur, Ulster County
Posted by: Kenneth Margison (ID *****7700) Date: February 22, 2009 at 09:37:34
  of 1535

I am looking for information on both individuals listed below:
Obituaries from the Greene County Whig 1849-1857
February 7, 1852
Death of Abram France – France who was stabbed by Plass at Wilbur on Tuesday night of last week, died on the Wednesday evening following, or in about 24 hours from the time of receiving the wounds. Examinations have been made by surgeons and the necessary legal steps for the trial of Plass have been taken by the authorities.
France was 27 years of age and leaves a wife and three children, in circumstances of extreme poverty. The people of Wilbur have shown much sympathy for their destitute condition and they have been amply cared for. Plass is some 50 years of age, and he too has a wife and several children in utter destitution. The family were sent by the authorities to the county poor-house.

Another newspaper account identifies the Plass as George Plass also from Ulster County, who was sharing a home with Abram France
Any info appreciated
