This compilation was done by Lucille Zoulek as a huge project of indexing the entire newspapers from 1858 to at least mid 1970's. To say this was an enormous undertaking is putting it mildly. Anyone who researches in this county locally has used the indexes and most any researcher has used them for anyone out-of-town. We thank her immensely!
The Grand Traverse county data for 1902, 1903 and 1904 which has been extracted for comparison with this newspaper index.
