I don't have a subscription myself and do not know if this is all of the Decatur papers it has. You might want to keep it in mind as a resource. Perhaps someone on the list has a subscription and could tell us more.

The Old Capital Historical Library, in Springfield, Ill. has old newspapers on micro film, and are available for inter-library loan, at no charge. I have researched them, and there is a lot of information there. the only charge, would be if you are in the library, is for copies you make there.
