Is there anyway someone could lookup a story in the local paper? On 6 Sept 1883, a grandmother, Mrs. Hoyland, and her 2 grandsons were killed in a fire in Riverton. I would like to know the names of her daughter and son-in-law who lived in the house and any other names in the story. The story ran in a paper in Ohio on 13 Sept 1883, but I figure it would have been big news in Sangamon County. Thank you in advance for your help!

Did you check the newspapers at the State Library nka Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library? http://www.state.il.us/hpa/lib/Microfilm.htm On 4/11/07, Manners <manners22@gmail.com> wrote: > > Is there anyway someone could lookup a story in the local paper?
