There are no paper copies anywhere, unless somebody saved it in their personal memorabilia.

But that doesn’t mean there’s no evidence of foul play.

Oh, you can bet there is an original newspaper somewhere. If the newspaper offices don’t have it (a big WHY?) then what about state library or state archives? A local public library? The University? A genealogical or historical society? A PI could locate each and everyone one of the babies or their families in the announcements because it was the thing back in those days to keep the papers and paste the announcements in baby books. I noticed on the Star, that marriages followed, so it’s possible the happy couples keep the papers as well. If someone did anything significant and it was in the paper, they might have kept it. It would take money and time but there are papers out there. Look at old stored things that were wrapped in newspapers. Newspapers were used to paper walls in homes. There’s always the old coot down the street that has hoarded everything his entire life. Long stretches, but if only people would just think what they might have.

My family owned several newspapers and several years ago we placed some in a library. We put the word out and people dug through their homes and brought us stacks of the old issues. That could work in this instance too.
