Since you have the date, it might not be difficult to find. I don't know the cost if any. You can ask. I understand they are sometimes good about helping people find info in the Joplin Globe and Joplin News Herald microfilm. http://www.joplinpubliclibrary.org/ There are also some kind people, who research these type queries at the libraries to help others out here.
