I am seeking some obituaries on some area people along with the stories about their accidental deaths. The dates range from 1972-2001. Does anyone know how far the microfilm for the Howard newspapers at the Howard City Library goes? If the library does not have microfilm for the dates I am needing, where can I find the actual newspapers, or can I? Thanks.
Marcia, The Howard-Courant Citizen newpapers are on microfilm thru the Kansas State Historical Society and may be ordered thru the libraries on inter-library loan. The Howard Courant is listed with the dates 1-6-1972 thru 2-9-1989. The Elk County Citizen-Advance News runs from 2-6-1989 thru 3-31-1999. After that it's The Flint Hills Express with the dates 4-7-1999 thru 3-29-2000.
You might wish to view the online newspaper catalog listings that KSHS has. I am not in a position to answer your other questions tonight, without doing some checking myself.
I can't remember what the years are at the Howard Library. I've looked through them, but the dates just didn't stick. Sorry.
