Message Board Post:
Late last year my friend Wanda and I extracted obituaries from the Starke County
Republican and Starke County Democrat newspapers, from 1892 to 1903, the combined index is
at the following address:
http://www.scpl.lib.in.us/historical/
Not every issue or page of the papers were available and most of them gave very little
information, but some of them
are a goldmine.
I did the Republican, since we had the actual newspapers, I took digital pictures of the
news items I extracted to keep from handing the crumbling paper anymore than I had to. I
also did marriages, marriage license applications, births, and divorce petitions. As I
said before, most have just a line or two. If you use the index and find anything from the
Republican paper and want the picture of it let me know.
The extractions are available at the Starke Co. Historical Society, at the library, or I
have copies from both papers.
