Primary Source of Isaac Hale's affidavit in 1834.

So anyway, in 1834 an affidavit of Emma's father Isaac Hale was published in a newspaper called The Susquehanna Register. I'd seen the text of this affidavit online, but searched in vain to find a copy of the original source.

So I contacted the Susquehanna County Historical Society who told me they had a copy of it. I sent them $10 and they sent it to me.

BUT! Due to the size of the paper, they had to copy it in quarters, so I have 4 pieces of paper which together make up the front page of the newspaper that contained Isaac Hale's affidavit.

I scanned them in, but my technical skills do not allow me to combine these 4 images into one to make it easier to read. :-( If anyone has the skills to do this, that would be cool. If not, it's still possible to read it. It just doesn't look as nice.

Here are the 4 pages:

Now that I've posted this, someone will probably show me where it already existed online. :-)

But anyway, I figured since I went to the trouble to get this, I'd post it in case anyone would appreciate it.
