Wisconsin Historical Society
Another Midwestern site for your research focus is the Wisconsin Historical Society, online at www.wisconsinhistory.org/wlhba
Not only do they boast an online Local History and Biography Articles index with access to the articles, but also historic images and a Civil War soldiers' index. The 16,000 articles focus primarily on the 1860-1940 time frame. The quality of the scanned newsapaper images is great! The indexes are straightforward and link quickly to the references.
My own ancestor, John Walworth, shows up mentioned in a news article 12 years after his death and in four published sources, one of which is accessible through the website. I suggest that you check the site if you have Wisconsin ancestry.
