The
Longmont Ledger Newspaper Index ©
Extracted by the Longmont
Genealogical Society
These records are extractions of
Birth, Marriage and Death dates from the old Longmont Ledger
newspaper which was published from September 12, 1879. This index
extends thru 1935, a total of about 56 years, although the Ledger
was published for many years beyond that. This information was
extracted by members of the Longmont Genealogical Society from a 3 by
5 card file originally created by the WPA and housed at the Longmont
Public Library.
Please note that the dates listed are not for the actual event, but
the date the information was published in the Longmont Ledger.
Where dates were vague and information sketchy, the microfilm of the
original newspapers was examined.
The Longmont Ledger
newspapers can also be found at
www.coloradohistoricnewspapers.org/ if you would like to see the
full issues or to verify the information in our index. However, the
entire span of this index is not covered by the Colorado Historic
Newspapers digital archive. Their copies are from Sep 1879 to Sep
1923, with many issues missing in the first few years.
Issues of additional Longmont newspapers can be found at the Colorado
Historic Newspapers Collection (CHNC) website: Longmont Press
(6 issues) from October 2, 1872 to July 22,1882; Two issue of the Longmont
Times on Mar
31, and June 23, 1888; The Longmont Call from Oct
1899 to Aug 1918; the Longmont Daily Times from Jan 1918 to
Dec 31, 1927 (three years and several other months are missing within
this time span); and the Times-Call from Aug 28, 1934 to Jun
30, 1941. However, those papers have not been indexed. Nearly
thirty other newspaper titles were published in Boulder county for
various periods and at least a part of those issues are also available
from the CHNC website.
