The library in St. Clairsville has many of the Belmont Co newspapers on film, so you needn't go to Columbus to get them, if this is closer. However, it may be possible, if you check the on line site for The Ohio Historical Center at Columbus , to find what films you wish to see, and have them sent to your local library through interlibrary loan. -----Original Message----- From: Jackie Pauley <jpauley@intelos.net> To: OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com <OHBELMON-L@rootsweb.com> Date: Wednesday, September 20, 2000 10:00 AM Subject: [OHBELMON-L] newspapers? >Does anyone know what newspapers would have been in Belmont and Franklin County in the 1850-1880 period?
