Hi, all.
Is anyone on this list actually located in Durango? I'm trying to find
old newspapers. I checked the web site for the state historical society;
they charge $50.00 for an interlibrary loan of microfilm, which is

Daniel J. BLACKBURN
died in Durango on 11 October 1895
Please let me know if a local society or library might have copies.
Addresses would be much appreciated!
Thanks very much,

the Pine River Cemetery. Thank you
so much.
