Don't know if anyone is interested, but I ran across this link that has different newspapers across the USA. Just click on the state you want and it will bring up the newspaper. Unfortunately the Independent Journal isn't on the list so we can see any obits, but then awonder@cox.net does a fabulous job of posting. It does have the Daily Journal which blondee@centurytel.net post to St. Francois Co.mailing list, Farmington Press in St. Francois Co., St. Louis Post Dispatch, and several others. It lists the papers that are printed daily, weekly and less frequent, and broadcast news sources. Some of the papers may have archives. I know the Post does, but not for a long period of time. http://www.kidon.com/media-link/us.php Sharon (Hartzell) Smith Jefferson Co., MO.
