Searching Old Newspapers
I have one more suggestion to add for searching old newspapers. In scanning old San Antonio newspapers, I noticed that sometimes the only news of a local death would be a minute notice of a "Burial Permit Issued," tucked inbetween ads, or other bits of local news. The location in the papers for this type of information varies widely, so I scan the whole paper carefully. This might be true of newspapers in other areas, too.
