HI: The Woodville Republican had an article about my ancestor's death in Sept. 1879. It was reprinted in my ancestor's hometown paper in LA a week after his death. I have already made copies of it. Judging from the replies on this list, I'm going to order the microfilm of the Republican in 1879 from the Family History Center in my area and look at the articles. Excerpts don't seem sufficient.

I checked the FHL catalog and they do not seem to have the microfilm of the 1879 issues. However, they are available at the archives in Jackson. Several years back I stopped at the Woodville Republican Offices and Mr. Lewis gave me a list of all the issues available on microfilm at the MS department of Archive and History in Jackson. Not all issues were filmed but film * 00002069 includes 1879, Jan 4 through Aug 23.
