Thanks to Richard Reese for confirming that it was the evening leader as the primary local newspaper for carbondale in 1900-1903. It also is on microfilm at state library..so now I have to figure out a way to search it long distance.. thanks again to all who answered..joe callahan in north dakota jcallaha@ctctel.com

I just heard from Vally View Memorial Park, John Babyak was great, he scanned in the internment cards and e-mailed them to me, He will also be e-mailing me pictures of my ancestor's graves. But in his letter he mentioned that the above people were buried in the same lot as my what I suspect is my Champion's. The people in this lot are: Thomas Champion Jr and Sr Harriet Champion Selina Champion John Champion Katie Champion All were moved from Shadylane and besides Katie all were adults. Because they were moved, I have no dates on the above people, The monument has fallen over and is in the process of being repaired, so if there is aditional information we will have to wait for it to be repaired to see if there is other information on the reverse side. The only names I reconize from the above list are Katie and Thomas. Katie died oct 1892 12 days short of her 18th birthday. There are only 2 adult Thomas Champion's that I am aware of. Thomas H Champion who is also buried in Valley View but not in this lot, and his father Thomas, who is Suspect is Thomas Jr above. I have never heard the names of Hamley and Hawkins so I can't connect them with my family at this time if the above Champion's are actually mine. I am fairly certain that they are since any Champion's I have found in Lackawanna Co are my ancestors.
