Was your g-grandfather Christopher Fraley? Did he and his wife rent out cabins at Fraley's Cabins in Clayton NY?
I have a picture along with other people of someone my cousin called Aunt Madeline at the Fraley farm.
Let me know & I'll e-mail it to you if she's related to you.

Subject: Re: Your G-Grandfather

Sorry I can't help you. My cousin, Jackie Fraley Kucharski and her husband stayed with us for a few days on their way down to the Keys. She brought some old pictures with her. On the back of the picture it said "Fraley Farm 1933". There is a woman standing beside my grandmother Genevieve Fraley and Jackie told me it was Aunt Madeline. She said every time their Family would drive to Cape Vincent from Ohio to visit Gram & Gramps, they would stay at Fraley's Cabins in Clayton NY with Aunt Madeline. They didn' stay in a cabin but in Aunt Madeline's house. I guess she rented out rooms in her house also. In a letter that my Aunt Genevieve sent to me in 1973 regarding ancestry, she said Christopher Fraley married Maddie Besche. I know she misspelled her last name but I thought she could perhaps be your g-grandmother. I've sent the picture to my brother in Michigan who is 13 years older then me and my sister in CA who is 10 years older then me and asked them if they knew the people in the picure. I'll let you know what I find out. There are also a man in a straw hat and an old couple in the picture and also a blond woman. There are pictures of my Price cousins ranging in age from 9 to 2.

Sorry I can't give you more info Regards,now

Hi.
As you know, I don't know who all of the people in this picture are. Maybe you will recognize someone, The only thing that's written on the back of the picture is "Fraley Farm 1933".I think some of the adults might be: from L to R Edward Fraley 25 yrs. old, Joseph Price, husband of Genevieve Fraley, Genevieve Fraley, wife of Francis (Frank) Fraley, Aunt Madeline, Blond woman? man in straw hat? Old woman & man?

all of the kids are children of Joe Price and Genevieve Fraley Price: L tp R Beatrice Price age 7. Richard Price age 9, Francis Price, age 8. George Price, age 6, and the little guy in the front is Tommy Price, age 2.

Do you recognize any of the people from your family? I'll give you whatever info I get from my brother & sister,

Regards,
Phyl Shaw

Subject: Death certificate for Mary L. Besha Fraley

Hello Mary,

I am hoping you can help me locate a death certificate for my ancestor, Mary Lillian Besha (Fraley <- married name). She died August 12, 1937, in Evans Mills, N.Y. and was buried in St. Vincent de Paul Cemetery, Rosiere, N.Y.

Would you please check your records for her death certificate?

Please reply with costs for copies and I will send a check for same.

If your office does not have this record, should I write to Marilyn Hanson, Clerk Evans Mills Village P. O. Box 356 Evans Mills, N.Y. 13637 ?

Sincerely,

Paul F. Kelly

Hello!

Mary Besha, my great-grandmother was born on August 6, 1880, LeRay, NY. She was baptized in Sept. 1880 in St. Mary's church, Evans Mills, Diocese of Ogdensburg. (according to a marriage record in St. James Church, July 1, 1908)
I would like to have a copy of her baptism and birth records if they are available. I have already written to the Town of LeRay and requested the birth record, however, their records begin 1882. I also understand that the Albany birth records (State of New York Dept. of Health) begin in 1881, so they most likely will not have her birth record.
Can you help?
Sincerely,
Paul F. Kelly

_TODO:
I already had received the copy (certified transcript).
