Where do I find a newspaper that will tell me anything about Margaret Lee formerly of Illinois?
On microfilm in the library, for sure. The Ancestry USA subscription has some newspapers, and an index to them. She might be there. You might wander down to an LDS Family History Center some evening and ask if anyone has a subscription. (Your library might have one, too.) Finding someone with an ancestry subscription in an FHC is as easy as finding a beer-swilling thick-necked lout at a Beta Theta Pi house. Finding her will be a problem. She may have had an obituary. If she lived to be 90, they may have written her up. Her wedding might be in the society pages. Obits and wedding stories come out 0 – 7 days after the event. “Oldest Citizen Reflects” stories are a dice roll. they can be 30 days before or after the birthday. If someone in the special collections room has indexed the local paper, you are in luck. If not, you’ll have to hope Ancestry has the newspaper. It would take you years to start with the January 1935 microfilm and wade forward until she died.
