Open question: the Gazette's ends

UNSETTLED · CARRIED IN THE SIBLING LEG AS GAP-NC-NWS-2 AND ITS SIBLINGS

The question: the town paper's two directory runs both end in the directory's own punctuation of uncertainty — the first in "189?," the second in "19??" — and the first of those ends is contradicted outright by Howard's reprint of recollections written for the Gazette on November 16, 1906. The sibling newspapers leg carries the 1938 run's last consulted issue (December 29, 1939) and its one-initial publisher; the runs' true ends, and the paper's course between its directory lives, want the paper's own mastheads. The settlers: the state library's microfilm of the title as indexed through its systems, and Miller's Indiana Newspaper Bibliography (1982) for the locations of what survives. A town's paper is its diary; this build prints the diary's missing last pages as missing.

Principal sources: the U.S. Newspaper Directory records; Howard (1907); the sibling newspapers leg's gaps register — as cited in Part Three.
