: Does anyone know where I can find copies of the local newspaper (currently : Leader-Record) back in 1873? I was also told that the Keosauqua Library is : missing that section of the newspaper and I have tried the Leader-Record who : does not have copies back that far. : ~~~~~~~~~~ I may have missed that time period, but... I was at the library today looking for Keosauqua newpapers that were available in that time period also. The earliest newspaper I could find (and that I was going to order after I order two others) was Weekly State Line Democrat Pub: Keosauqua, Iowa by Geo. F. Smith OCLC 15153793 Weekly NIH 1893,1894-7 When I do order through interlibrary loan and I have received it I will put a message to the list that I will also try to search for other surnames during that time period. Do not send me the surnames until the announcement or they will be totally disregarded by me. Cathy
