I know the HCHS has a lot of newspapers on microfiche. If you know the
timeframe for the Penwell's and Shrope's, you can cruise the newspapers for
those years. It's a tedious process, but sometimes it pays off.
Also....you can't expect people at the Historical Society to simply hand you
stuff.....sometimes you have to take the initiative and simply pick things
off the shelf. For instance, by looking at the indexes located in the back
of most books, fate can often lead you to unexpected findings.
