An interlibrary loan from the State Historical Society of MO of microfilm, was the source from which this data given below was obtained. |
The 1892 papers are not very easy to read - most are in very bad shape. Some of the weeks are missing entirely and others are either faded or so black that the words can't be read. I read a lot of the words one letter at a time. A lot of these papers have long black lines running down the pages or across the pages. I ordered the film two different times and made copies both times hoping the last time that I could make out a few more words than I had the first time I read the copies, which I did. |
