Hi Martha, I have Volume 1. The intro says: These abstracts were taken from the files of the Spirit of Democracy newspaper for the periods 7 October 1897 through 28 December 1899 and 1910. Other items were abstracted from the Monroe Gazette newspaper 13 Feb 1893 through January 1894. The Monroe Gazette was originally published in 1873 under the name The Monroe County Democrat. It ceased publication in 1911. The Spirit of Democracy has been continuously published in Monroe County since 1844. I hope someone else can tell you about Vol. 2.
