Yes, it's very tedious but can result in BIG rewards, in particular reports
of deaths in the years prior to deaths being recorded by the county. Reading
the articles about the major floods was most interesting - found reports of
ancestors houses being swept away.

There has never been an index that I am aware of.
The only index? has been by year. You have to go through the pages one by
one. The only help I can give is that you can begin to learn which pages
have local news and which don't. This remains fairly constant except when
the number of pages in the average issue increase and that it's amattern
of picking up a new pattern.
So in a four-page issue, you might find a little news on page 1, none on 2
and 3, and most of the local items on 4. In many cases, the national news
will consume one page and perhaps what we might call magazine-style
articles on another and the pattern is generally unvarying, except in
special issues.
I've spent a lot of time going page by page, year by year. So I
sympathize.

Hi,
I tried the link and ran into a problem. The index isn't available. It's
kind
of hard to go through all those pages with the naked eyeball.

They certainly have this valuable resource well-hidden!
