Shelby County (Illinois) Democrat Index

Researching newspapers can be a challenge, especially for genealogists. The task just got easier.

Now you will know exactly what page and column that long lost obituary or news article was printed on in the Shelby County Democrat before you spend hours painstakingly scrolling through yards of microfilm. With this index you will be able to quickly fast-forward to the very microfilm frame you need. (Full text is not included. This is just an index.)

The Shelbyville Democrat Index was created with genealogical researchers in mind. Every property listed in the tax notices is included in the index (not just the owners). Property tax lists are noted in the entries.

The index is custom-made for the more technical researcher. This electronically searchable indexrequires the free Adobe Acrobat software you probably already have on your computer.

This particular index covers the first three years the Shelbyville Democrat was published. It was an era when the Hon. Samuel Moulton, who spearheaded the creation of Illinois State University, lived in Shelbyville, as did Josephine Cochran, creator of KitchenAid dishwashers. The one room schoolhouse and circuit preachers were a way of life.

Anyone researching Shelby County simply must have this index.
