Citations: Newspaper mentions

Credit: The location of articles in hundred-year-old newspapers is a difficult labor that deserves credit. Where an image is available, the image credit identifies both the image source and the person who found it, if known. When the finder is unknown it usually means that the article came from an archive that did not identify the finder. Finally, where an image is not available, the finder's identity is in brackets in the citation on this page.
