The Hoopeston public library has micro-film of the Hoopeston Paper (the Chronicle Hearald) from way back. I've found all sorts of wonderful tidbits about my family. The old papers had a section that told of peoples comings and goings. I've seen bits about my relatives going to visit a relative in such and such a place or of a Great Aunt going to a certain school. You may want to check it out for Hoopeston area info.
