Headlines of Old

MISSING PERSONS    Trove Tuesday 7th Nov 2023, range from 1930-1938, what could be more painful than longing to find a 'missing' loved one.. These notices cover several states…Many regional papers posted these notices.. if you have ‘lost’ someone, it could well be worth looking in local papers as well as the major papers.
