The two likely newspapers were/are The Stanstead Journal and the Sherbrooke Record. Obituaries are scarce the farther back you go. Usually only a brief notice of death would appear and since the Sherbrooke Record didnt start till 1897, The Stanstead Journal would be about your only newspaper source.
