Les Guest Mar 02, 2005 5:20 PM	Denise, I have the 1887 Tornado on microfilm (not all of the year was available to be microfilmed though). What month/week are you looking for? Les
Administrator Denise 173 posts Mar 14, 2005 10:36 AM	Hi Les, Remind me next time to write in the msg what I was looking for! Ha! I have totally forgotten who I was looking for. What I suspect is that I posted the wrong year. I think it was 1877 - and I will have to check my notes on whose obit I needed..... I will re-post when I figure out what I needed it for. Hey! I'm old - cut me some slack! (giggle) ---------- Denise, Tampico Area Historical Society

Loyal Thomas Johnson was killed in a railroad accident on Feb 26 1878 in Newman, Perry, Jefferson County Kansas. Since he had been a long time resident of Fairfield Twp. Bureau County, Illinois, I thought an Obit may have been reported in the local paper. If you get an 1878 Tampico Tornado, I would appreciate a lookup. Thank you, Vivian

Les Guest Mar 14, 2005 6:29 PM	Ahhh, 1878 not 1887. Sorry, but as far as I have been able to determine, there were no Tornados available for microfilming before the 1886 editions. Sorry - no 1878. Les
