University & College & Municipal Libraries are the respositories for ancient mouldering documents even/especially defunct newspapers. A lot though depends on what one defines as a Newspaper - - - if it was a community newsletter or a 'paper' for a less-than-popular minority, then you might check out any archival sources for that group, such as Communist, Gays, Mennonites, etc.
Peace....

Go to your local library info desk and ask them to get you an intralibrary loan from the town with a microfiche film of the newspaper from that date in history that you are seeking . They will allow you to view it there for about 5 days or so . You turn it back in each day after viewing on the premises .There should be news archives for that paper even if it is no longer in business . It's usually free if you have a library card .

There are usually archives of the newspaper, sometimes even online, and you can obtain copies as far back as a couple hundred years. Believe me they do exist, you just have to find them. Also, you can go to your local reference library if you are in a large city and ask for microfilms of the newspaper. Hope this helps.

In this electronic age of ours, most newpapers will have archives of their old issues stored electronically. If that is not the case, then the library in the town where the newspaper was (is) published should have the microfiche of the old issues. Hope this helps ! Happy hunting !

You could go to a Town Hall (Ect.). They usually keep records on
things that happened.
They keep a giant stack of papers at the library ;l

The local library might have it on microfiche. Or you can check the phone book for a local historian.
