I found this interesting tidbit: The Monongahela Patriot’s place of publication was listed as Parkinson’s Ferry, Pa as late as 1834.
Lost Monongahela 
Yes – I definitely remember reading The Daily Herald and The Daily Republican….too bad we don’t have all those newspapers anymore. Provides a wide range of opinion and insight into local politics, etc……thx for your good work, Danny.

There is a story about how we came within hours of losing every copy of our newspaper when it was purchased by a newspaper chain and all the archives were being discarded. One man was able to send the issues out to be microfilmed. Several organizations in the US now have copies on microfilm. Now you can view a digital copy of the microfilm on Newspapers.com. There are still issues that haven’t been digitized from the 1850’s – 1880 that are still on microfilm.
