I chose to not crop the rest of the newspaper pages out as it provided a time stamp to the world during the early 1900s.
The files are listed with the article's title so that you can easily scan the page and find it. Some of these PDFs one can text search, some cannot.
Currently I have found over 200 sources. I will add anymore that become available.
