Once you've established which newspaper covered that area during that time period you can request that specific microfilmed newspaper through your local libraries inter-library load program if it's been microfilmed.

DOB 3/16/1836? Mecklenburg, Germany. DOD 2/15/1916. Buried in New Holstein Cemetery. After retiring from farming and after his wife died, John lived with his youngest son, Joachim "Joe'" AWE. Joe AWE also farmed and in later years, lived in Kiel. So John AWE's death may have been recorded in Calumet or Manitowoc Counties and an obit may have been published in a newspaper in New Holstein or Kiel or Chilton or another local area. German newspaper, perhaps? Daily paper or weekly paper? Would appreciate any assistance.
