Paul, " My problem with that is where do you get old copies of New York Times (and other papers that serviced Yonkers) when you live in rural USA 1000 miles from NY?" My local library here in Palm beach Co. FL has the NY Times index, it is a set of books, one for each year that lists every person and articule subject, with the micro film #, then you go to the NY Times micro film, if your library does not have the films they should be able to borrow it from the nearest large city or county library near you, and look it up. I researched the entire shooting of my grandfather Fred Hirsch by 2-gun Crowley back in 1932 this way took me right through the trial and all. The small local papers you may need to contact the local library, but try the Times first. Thanks, Carol L. Heap
