Donna, Several years ago, a lady named Margaret Salb extracted items from some of the Jennings County newspapers for the years 1859-1959. I'm not sure if she used the bound volumes that were at the Recorder's Office or microfilm at the library. I do know that not all the newspapers were done. She then typed the extracts and gave them to the Jennings County Public Library. They are in loose leaf binders. About ten years ago, I was doing a lot of volunteer work for the genealogy department of the library and made an index of the material each binder. At the same time, I made copies for myself. Here is what I found that may help you: 18 January 1917 - Plain Dealer Paul F. Strickland age 75 died Jan 11, 1917 at Logansport, Indiana, home of his daughter, Mrs. Florence Funke.
