Re: [DL] Epitaph Headlines

["Ed Greaves" <temporus@hotmail.com>]

There's a website, and I'm kicking myself now for not bookmarking it, but 
this site has actual 19th C periodical articles.  I think they were scanned 
in in either JPG or PDF format, I ran across it a couple of days ago, so I 
don't really remember the specifics.  If you wanted some extra fluff pieces 
that could add some realism to your version of the Epitaph, you could 
probably find some stuff here.  If I can figure out that website, I'll post 
it.
