Title: Dollar newpapers 1914 ? Connell Connell waterwheel death
Post by: DollarConnell on Tuesday 20 August 13 02:36 BST (UK)

Hi does anyone know if it is possible to access copies of the old Dollar newspapers of 1914 ? My great uncle Connell Connell was a boy 7 years old and died by being crushed by a waterwheel at the Rack Mill south of Dollar, I thought there may be some reference to his death outside just the death registers, thanks in anticipation cheers

Unfortunately you do not show your location in your profile so this might not help.

Alloa library has an index to the Alloa Journal ( they possibly have the papers as well I have not checked).
See-

If they don't hold the original newspapers they have microfilm copies

PS contact the library before visiting if microfilm is required it is held in store.
