The Augusta Chronicle is online and searchable. HOWEVER, if it only appeared in the McDuffie Progress then I will have the problems you describe. The Progress is readily available on microfilm but not indexed. I will keep my fingers crossed that the story (assuming it is true) made it into the Chronicle J Michele From: Patricia Hobbs [mailto:plhgenealogy@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 21, 2013 11:35 PM To: Michele Lewis Cc: Marian Pierre-Louis; TGF Mailing List Subject: Re: [TGF] The weirdest request ever Yes, but you don't know WHEN she fell in the well (or do you?). We have a really great index for deaths at our library for the Springfield, Missouri, newspapers. But we'd still need to go back year by year in the city directories or by deeds to find who lived there. Then check those names against those in our newspaper index. Can't imagine how difficult that would be if you didn't have an obit index that you could match with names of residents. Or maybe there's an index for all those who died in the year which we also could do with missouri death certificates ... as long as it wasn't before 1910.
