Old Newspaper Clippings

I love to look at the old newspapers and to glean what I can about the history of a place as well as the lives of the people that lived there. In looking for information on my family I always check newspapers in the area they lived for obituaries and any mention of them that might be in the paper. I know they use to always put in social news like Mrs Wilder and son to visit her parents in South Dakota and so on. I look first for obituaries in the paper of the area they lived in but also I skim through to see if there name is mentioned otherwise.  I have found interesting facts about what my ancestors lives were like by reading the old papers.

I recently was given clippings out of the old Chicago Times that had announcements and pictures from when Pres. Roosevelt died but on the back of some of those clippings I have found mention of others in the military and deaths. I decided that I would transcribed the ones that I could in hopes that it would help someone looking for their ancestors. There is not many but hopefully it will help someone. The only problem is I know the name of the paper but actual dates of the clippings are not there. All are about the funeral and death of Pres. Roosevelt so that gives us a time frame. If anyone reads this post and finds that it mentions a ancestor I would be glad to copy the page that I have transcribed and send to them.

Here are the names out of the Chicago Times:no date but some time around Apr 1945

Noble J Puffer Cook County superintendent of schools picture is included
