I was given what was suppose to be the information from a newspaper clipping, that my great grandpa, Samuel Soloman "Sol" Hurst died in Alton in Jan. 1900. Are there old newspapers or copies of articles from newspapers available? His father was George Hurst, the son of Samuel Hurst and unknown. Probably a Hudleston. His mother was Esther Emma Mayberry the daughter of Soloman Mayberry. Thank you Margaret
