Kathleen, Yes, there is an excellent Local History & Genealogy Section at the Springfield Library Center on S. Campbell. They also have a website you should check out because some records and histories are online: http://thelibrary.springfield.missouri.org/lochist/index.cfm The Abstracts and Index of Items of Genealogical Interest from the Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, Newspaper collection is in the Local History and Genealogy Section. It is comprehensive index to obituaries, marriages, births and divorces from 1865-present. Some of the volumes have photocopies of the newpapers clippings in them, others are typed abstracts, and some give you references to the microfilm which is also there. There are also newspaper abstracts by others back to the late 1840s. The staff is very helpful. There are also cemetery records, funeral home records, marriage records, and many others for Greene County as well as other counties and states.
