I will be in Alton in about a week and a half and was intrigued by some of you saying that Edwardsville deaths were posted in the Alton newspaper. Some of my ancestors, BURKHART and HEBERER, may have died in Edwardsville and I would like to find their obituaries. This would have been around 1855-1870. Do the Alton newspapers in the Hayner Library go back that far? Marilyn Lane Mountain View, CA
