Fort Fairfield Newspapers Typed
Loyal Sunrise, Fort Fairfield Aurora, Presque Isle Sunrise
You can see by the titles, a lot of these old newspapers were competing with each other but they didn't last very long. The old newspapers contained birth records, marriage articles and death notices, and even some old obituaries, which did not contain the information a good genealogist would be looking for but it was what they produced between 1863 and 1877, so you have to go with what you find. This is a way of saving what was published back in that time.
Each book page contains three columns, first date of article, what it was about then what was in the article be it one line or a whole paragraph. They are in order by date, with all the information typed from the original paper. The book is 48 pages long then 9 pages of index.
I found the old papers very interesting when typing the information as to what they thought was valuable in that time frame to be published.
Just a note, I entered this book in the Literary Contest in Conn Genealogy Society's book contest in 2003 and won first prize.
The price of this book is $30 plus S/H.

Northern Leader 1892,-1896, Beacon 1894-895
This book contains information found in these newspapers the Leader in 1892, and 1894 to 1896, and the Beacon years were 1894 to 1895. Not a very big time span but birth, death and marriages occurred in this time frame and were published in these newspapers. Because the same time span 1894 to 1895 was recorded in two separate newspapers you may find duplication when looking under a single name, but its good because you may find information in one that was not in the other. The Newspapers date is highlighted in color at the top of the page so check out both papers.
The book is 81 pages then 10 pages for the index totaling 91 pages. The price of the book is $30 plus S/H..
Aroostook Republican & Northern Leader
Two newspapers, one the Aroostook Republican and News for 1891 and 1892 and the Northern Leader for 1893. The book contains births, marriages, deaths and obituaries from these three years. As no paper was found for Aroostock Republican in 1893, I was able to find the Northern Leader printed in Caribou, ME, while the Republican was printed in Fort Fairfield, ME.
After going through the Republican then switching to the Northern Leader both papers were setup in different format
The book is set up by year and date for both. In 1893, C. H. Ellis was putting his own book together "History of Fort Fairfield" and some of what he was putting together became articles in the paper. I read them but they didn't contain information for genealogists, which is why the newspapers were gleaned in the first place.
The book is being offered for $30 plus S/H.
Aroostrook Republican and News - 1887 to 1890
The Aroostook Republican contained a lot of information for these two years. Like the other books completed, all birth, marriage and death information compiled in these two years was taken out and put into this book.
In 1887 only half year of information was found but some is better than none. The other three years are full years and a lot of information was found. There is a full index at the back of the book.
This book is priced for $30 plus S/H.
