https://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/ This is a historical newspaper website where you can look up old newspapers from your area. From about 1890 - 1935 a lot of the articles were about brutal accidents and suicides. I write a blog about the goofy shit you find in these old papers.

What did you expect? The website is called "Chronicling America". Did you expect Japan in there?
