Do any of our East Coast USA cousins know if any of the PA or DE Newspapers have been digitalised. So which Library or website you you need to go to? Would the US Library of Congress be a possible source?

Well I tried the digital newspapers, and that didn't help that much. I got an article from "The Cambria Freeman" from Ebensburg, PA. I am looking for an obit for my Great Great Grandfather, William C. Boyd. I am trying to find the names of his parents. Here is the article from the newspaper I found: William Boyd an engineer on the Pennsylvania railroad was killed in a wreck at Elizabeth Furnace, about three miles below Altoona, on Wednesday morning. The unfortunate man was one of the oldest engineers on the road, and resided at Harrisburg, where he leaves a wife but no children. The no children is false, all the children had left, were married, and had moved out. If there had been no children I would not be here today. Are there any newspapers in the Harrisburg area that are still in existence today? He was born March 29, 1827 not sure if PA or DE He died May 20, 1890 just outside of Altoona as the article said. If I go looking for a death certificate do I look in Altoona, where he died or Harrisburg where he lived?

Friends what other words or data MIGHT SEARCH UNDER to see if she can find more data form the Newspapers. Hopefully some of the current Harrisburg, PA Newspapers of today were also operating in 1890.
