Sorry, this index is for the Streator paper. The Guild in Ottawa has the index for the Ottawa papers, and since Ottawa is the county seat, they covered a broader area. The Streator paper had Dwight, Cornell news. Sometimes someone from LaSalle would make our paper, if they had friends in Streator, or had lived in the Streator area at one time.
