The Sutton News 1903-1936 is now on newspapers.com
The website newspapers.com recently added images of all pages of the Sutton newspaper "The Sutton News" to their inventory covering the lifespan of that paper from 1903 through 1936.
newspapers.com is a subscription based repository for more than 600 million pages from almost 22,000 newspapers dating from the 1700's. The site has had several papers from Clay Center, Edgar, and Fairfield for a few years. The Harvard Courier was added several months ago and The Sutton News appeared very recently. There are several issues of smaller local newspapers including from Ong, Deweese, Glenvil, and Grafton.
These two announcements announced the new, renamed paper in the March 13, 1903 issue and the sale of The Sutton News to The Sutton Register newspaper on February 28, 1936.
And on February 28, 1936
A subscription to newspapers .com will enable a DIY History experience for the story of Clay County as well as well beyond the county lines - how about Philadelphia newspapers from 1789 or daily accounts from the Civil War in The New York Times? There are lots of possibilities with 21,700 papers represented.
A subscription is a bit more than $100/yr. It is invaluable for my weekly newspaper column about Clay County's past. The downside? It is addictive.

This is exciting news! Being from MN, it's been difficult to find info on my Mitchell family from Sutton. This will definitely be a great help in my research!
I have been searching for a website like this in the field I am interested in. I am a big fan. I was thinking about creating my own blog about similar ideas for like-minded people. Some good ideas here. Thanks, I can only hope mine turns out as good as this one
