    1. Monona County Gazette

    3. I would like to find somebody who has access to archived copies of the Monona County Gazette from approximately 1890 till 1895. My great-grandparents were married in 1890 and lived in Jordan Township. Five years later on 17 Dec 1895 George Wolfe would murder his sister-in-law, his pregnant wife, and then kill himself, leaving behind two young sons. His wife did not die immediately so she was able to give the details of the tragedy, and it was reported in the newspaper. My mother obtained a transcript of that report many years ago. I am wondering whether George ever made the news before his murderous rampage. I am guessing that the Monona County Gazette would be the paper in which the news of Jordan Township would be published. Is there anyone on this list who knows of someone who would be able and willing to go through the old newspaper, which I assume have been microfilmed. Please respond to drortiz@verizon.net. Thank you. ~Deena Ortiz~
