Could someone tell me if there is any kind of index of articles which might have appeared in the Washington newspapers between Oct 1927 and September 1929. I recently received a copy of some reminisences from my mother's sister in which she gives a good deal of information about the family. Included in these pages was a story of how my grandmother and grandfather were coming home from downtown DC to Maryland after 9PM on a Saturday evening. There were torrential rains, which apparently short circuited the electric connection to the streetcar and it became stuck in an underpass where the streetcar lines passed under Kenilworth Ave. The car flooded and the men (my grandfather included) helped the women climb on top of the car until help from a nearby fire house arrived. My aunt stated that there was an article and photograph in the newspaper about the incident. She mentioned that my grandmother went back to work after all the children were grown and all but this aunt and her younger brother had married. My grandmother was returning home from her employment in the shoe department in Hechts. Apparently since she worked so late, my grandfather stayed downtown after he left work at the Western Union Office and waited for her, so my grandmother wouldn't have to make the late night 1 1/2 mile walk from the streetcar home by herself. I believe the time period was between Oct 1927 and September 1929 because my mother married in October 1927 and the aunt who told the story married in September 1929. If there is some type of the index it would make it much easier than searching the microfilm of the newspapers page by page. My aunt wrote these recollections when she was quite old - so she could have been mistaken in the fact that it occurred on a Saturday. Barbara
