THE SPRINGFIELD DAILY NEWS

was a morning newspaper. The following issues are missing:

March 1 through March 13, 1927 Friday, March 25, 1927 Sunday, March 27, 1927 Saturday, May 21, 1927 July 1 through July 16, 1927 Wednesday, September 28, 1927 Friday, December 23, 1927

The microfilm file of the Springfield, Greene County, Missouri, newspapers begins in 1844. Many of the early newspapers had only a brief existence. There are gaps in the files.

Almost all of the early newspapers have been indexed up through 1927. For many of the years there are abstracts as well. Each year has its own index and the index is to date of the newspaper item, so that a person with the index and access to the newspaper file could quickly locate the item for which he was searching.

From 1940 to date actual clippings from the newspaper have been included as well as indexes.

The Springfield -- Greene County Library, P. O. Box 760, Springfield, MO 65801, has the old newspapers on microfilm and also has all the abstracts, clippings, and indexes as hard bound books.

The library of the State Historical Society of Missouri, 1020 Lowry Street, Columbia, MO 65201 also has all the old newspapers on microfilm and also has most of the abstracts, clippings, and indexes -- some in book form and some on microfilm.

Other libraries which have most of the abstracts, clippings, and indexes (but not the full newspaper files) are the Family History Library, 35 N. West Temple Street, Salt Lake City, UT 84150 and the DAR Library, Memorial Continental Hall, 1776 D. Street NW, Washington, DC 20006-5392.

The Ozarks Genealogical Society, P. O. Box 3494, Springfield, MO 65808 has many of the abstracts and indexes for sale.

ERRORS AND OMISSIONS

The newspaper made errors: John Dutton was really John Hutton. Names are misspelled. Dates are wrong. Many events -- even deaths -- were not mentioned in the paper.

I made mistakes. Microfilm is often blurry and indistinct. Numbers particularly are difficult: 2s and 3s look alike; 6s and 8s look alike. Items were scattered about. Who would think of looking for a birth announcement among the want-ads? Items were overlooked because headline writers tend to be cutesy: "Prosecutor Jones Gets New Assistant" actually means his wife gave birth to a son. A marriage was reported under the headline: "To Consolidate." It is easy to overlook such whimsical items.

Many items deliberately omitted often mention family relationships. Before radio and television the almost universally practiced recreation was visiting -- usually relatives. There were thousands of items reporting such comings and goings: "Lucy Belle Smith returned to Ashtabula, Ohio, to visit her grandmother Violet Voles." Such items were not included in this index but nevertheless often reveal family relationships. The reader (if he has enough patience) might do well to read through such items.

The reader is strongly urged to CHECK EVERYTHING. He should check the microfilm himself. He should check with other sources: birth and death certificates, tombstone records, probate records, funeral home records, city directories, census records. Fortunately the Springfield-Greene County Library has many of these records.
