The State Historical Society of Wisconsin has the second largest collection of newspapers in the country (after the Library of Congress). If anyone has the Reedsburg newspaper from that time period, it would most likely be them. See the UW catalog for specifics on the Reedsburg newspaper(s) of the time: http://madcat.library.wisc.edu/ They lend much of their microfilm collection through interlibrary loan. Check with your local library for procedures and possible fees. Hope this helps, Kathy Lenerz
