I believe that the paper has been microfilmed and would be probably be on loan to your local library. I imagine that it is available in the Indianapolis library. Where do you live? Often, there is only a small note such as "Two children of Mr. Myers died in a fire".....if they just died of a local disease, it is often not mentioned. Children died young so often. There are others on this board who are more knowlegeable such as Lori. -- Marilyn

The newspapers are indeed on microfilm. I suggest a request be mailed to RCHS, along with the research fee, an SASE, and a small donation to cover copy costs, to see if mention of these deaths could be found in the family file. Lori
