These are photos of old newspapers. Many issues and/or pages of an issue were missing.

The index categories are very broad.

An entry of John Doe could be: John Doe or Mrs. John Doe. Surnames with a title were usually not included: Capt. Doe, Miss Doe, etc.

Most national & state articles were not indexed.

All personal ads were indexed: Farm for sale, John Doe

I tried to index 1 each of the business ads.

 

If the name you are looking for is not on the section listed, try one section before.

 

 

Ad = advertisement- business and personal

Art = article

B   = birth

C   =  [court] settlements, attachments, sheriffs sale, arrests, inquests, murders, lawsuits, etc.        

D   = death notice [natural causes-accidental]

M   = marriage

P    = personal

R    = report

Ss   = short story

 

[file name]s = supplement to that publication

File name = year-month-day-page-page section

 

I tried to include a small portion of the adjoining section for easier continuity.
