John, your best bet on this would be possibly to go to that county and look in their library, as many of them have microfiche of articles and newspapers daily in thier archives. I had to do a number of book reprts years ago and extensively went to the Lantana library down in Corpus Christi, TX, which had a collection of every daily newspaper the CC Caller Times made going back into the '20s.
