Gaps in Dates between newspaper issues may be notices.  Some issues were so faded that entire columns of announcements were simply completely illegible and I did not even bother to try.  Many of the below show dashes because of the fading and the numbers were especially difficult to make out.  The ink during the 1880’s is often poor as the papers have faded badly.
