John, Those two news articles were abstracted from past Jefferson County Chapter, OGS newsletters. There have been 3 individuals who have been abstracting names from the 1806-1900 Steubenville, OH newspapers which include residents up and down the Ohio Valley. Hopefully soon, these names will be put in book form, the JCC OGS newsletter and on-line for the convenience of family researchers. Old newspapers on microfilm are wonderful sources for providing color to our ancestors. Sad, happy, and comical events fill the newspaper pages.
