Though the Juvenile Gazette was published by a fifteen-year-old, like other periodicals of its day, it printed marriage and death notices. Most of the events occurred in Providence, Rhode Island; because I own copies only of the first six months, the vital statistics cover only November 1827 through May 1828. Researchers should remember that spelling, especially of participants’ names, was more art than science.
