The Carnegie Library in Washington, Indiana has a couple of newspapers on
microfilm. They have the Odon Journal and the Washington paper. I was able
to obtain obits from the 1880's. They also have an index to the microfilm,
which is just great. It is an alphabetical listing. This library has a
genealogy collection and sometimes the librarians are available for
research. I was lucky enough to visit there from Texas and able to do my
own research.
Good Luck!

Message Board Post:
Is anyone familiar with a source for old newspapers on microfilm for
Daviess County available either for interlibrary loan or purchase? I'm
particularly interested in the year 1851 and 1896-1900. Looking for obits
for a couple of relatives. Since I live in NC, it's a little difficult to
get to any of the local Daviess Co. libraries.
Thanks for any suggestions.
Bill
