Where might I find a newpaper for Macoupin County for the years 1836 and 1841. I am trying to find the obit for Mary Abigail Jefferson Hodges who died 8 July 1836 in Macoupin County Ill She married Seth T. Hodges about 1827 possibly in Tenn. I am looking for Seth T. Hodges death too. He was born 26 Oct 1788 Mississippi Territory d 18 June 1841 Macoupin Co. I am hoping there might be some early newspapers that might have their obits.

you can search here for available newspapers if a town is known, or you have time to search many towns :-) http://www.illinoishistory.gov/lib/newspaper.htm Rick ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marita Gladson" <maritag@earthlink.net> To: <ilmacoup@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 1:44 PM Subject: [ILMACOUP] News papers > Where might I find a newpaper for Macoupin County for the years 1836 > and 1841. > I am trying to find the obit for Mary Abigail Jefferson Hodges who > died 8 July 1836 in Macoupin County Ill > She married Seth T.

To the best of my knowledge, the earliest available newspapers in Macoupin County are the Carlinville newspapers which are on microfilm from 1856. I think Bunker Hill is available from 1861. Of course there are most likely missing issues. You may want to check the Springfield papers because I have used them in the past for Macoupin County research. Also, I believe the Alton Telegraph goes back to 1836. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marita Gladson" <maritag@earthlink.net> To: <ilmacoup@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2009 12:44 PM Subject: [ILMACOUP] News papers > Where might I find a newpaper for Macoupin County for the years 1836 > and 1841. > I am trying to find the obit for Mary Abigail Jefferson Hodges who > died 8 July 1836 in Macoupin County Ill > She married Seth T.
