Several additional Kalamazoo area
newspapers have now been digitized and can be searched at the
Kalamazoo Public Library website (click here to go directly to the search
page). They are listed under Miscellaneous Kalamazoo Publications.
While I cannot personally verify that all issues are in the database,
given the limited run of these papers I would be surprised if they
weren't. The following papers are now available for perusal.
Kalamazoo Advocate: Dec. 30, 1921 to
Jun. 30, 1922
Kalamazoo Evening News: Apr. 1, 1898
to Mar. 20, 1900
Kalamazoo Evening Press: Feb. 9, 1909
to May 13, 1911
Kalamazoo Star: Oct. 9, 1921 to Dec.
31, 1921
The People: Mar. 7, 1918 to Jun. 8,
1922
Trench & Camp (Fort Custer): Oct.
22, 1917 to Nov. 14, 1918
Publication dates come from the KPL
website.
I want to thank the Kalamazoo Public
Library for all they do. In this age of belt-tightening the fact
that they continue to devote staff and money to promoting Kalamazoo
history (and making it available online) speaks to their commitment
to the community.
*Disclaimer: I have no affiliation
with the library. I'm just a fan.

Thank you for this information. It has been extremely helpful in my researching of the Kalamazoo branch of my family tree. Still looking for me "problem child" (She just disappeared after 1880 and is listed as deceased in the 1900 census.) But I did find many refrences to other members of the family. Love the Blog!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

Joelle, If you think she may have died in Kalamazoo there are a few places you can check. www.kalamazoogenealogy.org has digitized death records. Start in the index and look there first. If she's not there you could also see if she might be buried in Riverside cemetery. The Kalamazoo Valley Genealogical Society webpage has a PDF of Riverside burials. In a couple of cases that is the only record I have indicating when a person died.
DeleteThanks for the info I will check the cemetery. I've visited the Kalamazoogeneology site before. They only show records of Bertha's birth in 1873. But, it did show us a previously unkown sibling. Who died shortly after birth. (2 months old)
Delete:) Thanks again!
