You could try searching the information on the Lycoming County Pennsylvania Genealogy Project at http://www.usgennet.org/usa/pa/county/lycoming/ . They have a link for newspaper abstracts which are available from the J.V. Brown library in Williamsport, PA. I've been able to find a few things on my family from there. There is a minimal cost for copies to be sent to you.
