Google for 'ny state newspaper project'. This will display a link to info on old newspapers available on microfilm that you can borrow via interlibrary loan. You initiate the request from your local library (they will need a microfilm reader). It's rare to find much prior to about 1870.

Thank you. rl ps I realze that Hogansburg is Franklin county but I think it was Clinton county during that time period. Also where would I find any articles on a newspaper called the Observer in the early 1900s?
