Bethel Newspaper Index
The Bethel Newsaper Index is a scanned version of a 3 x 5" card index created by James Haskell and available at the Bethel Historical Society's research library. It covers the Bethel News/Oxford County Citizen newspaper from 1895 to 1950.
How to use this index
The index is divided into five time periods. The subject index cards contain abstracts of articles appearing in the newspaper. The name index lists the names of persons and organizations mentioned in the abstracted articles. The notations on the name index cards refer back to the subject index cards from the same time period. Therefore, to research a name it is necessary to check the name index first, and then the correpsonding subject index.
