Historic 1800 Kingston Gazette Owned by Mrs Van Gorp
An 1800 Ulster County Gazette issue owned by Mrs. Ed Van Gorp is framed for preservation. It reports General George Washington’s funeral details, Napoleonic news from Egypt to France, Dutch names like de Witt and Hasbrouck, and ads for cash trades and even a slave for sale. The paper’s antiquarian value lies in its weathered printing style and long lineage.

Fragmented civic motto fragment from historical page
A battered line echoes a pledge praising Christian founders of the republic. The snippet suggests a mid 18th to 19th century tone with emphasis on nation, faith, and governance, likely part of a broader editorial or political statement.
