We are very fortunate the Marseilles Public Library preserved copies of the Marseilles Plaindealer newspaper.  These newspapers, going back to 1890, were microfilmed and then digitized by the Oklahoma Correctional Industries. 

Here is a sample of what was going on in Marseilles in October of 1890.
