Hello Everyone! This is what the The Herald says will be in the 1899 newspapers: "The Herald which was only 35 years old at the turn of the century, was an eight-page weekly newspaper. The last eight newspapers of 1899 will be reproduced as closely as possible to the originals on the last eight Sundays of 1999 as we mark the end of the 20th century. Each weekly, six-page section will contain stories and advertisements reprinted from those editions as well as modern ads from local advertisers. The 1899 editions to be reprinted are from the weeks of Nov. 3, 10, 17, 24, and Dec. 1, 8, 15 and 29." The Mercer County Genealogy Society is in the process of taking these old newspapers and making and index of all of the deaths and marriages from 1878 to 1920. After 1920 they are only indexing the deaths. We are currently up to 1925. I will be saving the copies of the old newspapers that will be in tomorrow's paper. If you would like me to look for a certain name for anyone please e-mail me with the name and I will see if the names are mentioned.
