Tell them the type of article that you are looking for. I have had good luck with the St. Louis Public Library for this type of search. The SLPl is currently closed for renovation but I have been told that they are doing obituary searches which should mean that they have access to the microfilms of the papers. Here is their email address. webref@slpl.org Here is the county website: http://www.slcl.org/ If that doesn't work out, see if your local library participates in the Inter Library Loan (ILL) program and ask them to order the films of the newspapers for that time period. I was able to do this at my local library until the economy went bad and their funding was cut. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
