A frequently overlooked boon to genealogy researchers is the use of
InterLibraryLoan. Your local public library can order microfilmed newspapers
from any
library in the country, for you to read at your library. As you have the
exact death dates, this will be easy. First call the Lancaster library to
see
what papers they have for the dates in question.

I just wanted to add that the PA State Library has their catalogue online, so
you can look up what newspapers they have available without making a phone
call. Then you can print out the call numbers, etc. to take to your library. My
local library doesn't own a microfilm reader, but I was able to work out a
plan with them to order the newspaper microfilms through interlibrary loan, and
then they let me take them up to the high school library which has a microfilm
reader/printer.
