Hello
I am looking for the names of newspapers that would have been in print in 1880 thru1884 near or close by Fisk MO. My gg grandpa Nathaniel McPherson drowned in the St Frances River circa 1881-82. Hoping there was a newspaper in print around that area at the time.
Thanks
Diane McPherson

Interesting, I can get there just fine. Try
http://newspapers.umsystem.edu. That works, too. One of my browsers
works fine and the other is "not fully supported."

Have you tried the Newspaper Library at the University of Missouri? Don't
recall their address either but you could probably find it at the University
website. Was thru Hardin after the flood of 1993 and my son in law used to
work in Richmond so know the area of your interest.

For any one who may be interested: I went to a site via
http://www.newspaperabstracts.com/index.shtml which was sent in reply to my
query about old Ray County newspapers; from there went to another old news
site sponsered by yahoo and received the reply:

Your message was addressed to a group (MO-Old-News) that does not exist.
Please check to make sure you spelled the group name correctly.
There are lots of old newspapers online. Clay county is particularly
well representated. This is the whole newspaper. Just go to
www.newspapers.umsystem.edu/

Thanks Amy\John, went there, but as I usually find, NO Ray County. I wonder
why no one cares about poor Ray county?
Oh well, I'll keep searching, I'll find it some day..............or
not............my luck? Probably not.
Thanks anyhow for trying, Pat, in Oregon,

East Central Missouri along I-70. Doing family research and have done OK
except for this one couple, August and Maria Elizabeth (Stoecklin) Scharf,
she b 25 Dec 1830 in Switzerland that married in Jan 1853, found recorded
marriage in Gasconade County, can't locate since. Have all of her siblings
info and on her father's will of 1881, lists Maria as deceased with
children, none listed buy name or location. Very distressing... Don't know
a thing about the husband only his name on the marriage record from
Hi fellow news hunters,
2 or 3 years ago I found an online site which gave me access to pieces of
some old Ray County Newspapers. They had available papers from Richmond and
Hardin, maybe more. Of course, now that I am retired, I have no idea where
that site was/is.
You could either choose 'subject' or 'entire contents' type of thing. I'm
not saying that the WHOLE paper was available, but articles of interest
were. They had dates, etc. If anyone knows anything about this, I would
really appreciate hea
