Genealogist's Journal 18 April 2010
Further Investigation of Peleg Everett Champlin (my aunt's grandfather)
Bob Champlin sent me a link to this newspaper article in The Day (a New London, CT newspaper that is still published) of 23 Nov 1915 about the murder that Peleg was sent to prison at the RI State Prison in the Howard section of Cranston, RI and subsequently murdered himself in a prison riot.
I am not well versed in searching for newpaper articles but I can see that I need to get better at it. I really think this is an exciting part of genealogy's relationship to family history.

One of the things that is so impressive is that you found this in the google news archives and not a subscription newspaper archive.
