Here is a link to the Kansas State Historical Society. They have microfilms of the newspapers available for interlibrary loan. IF you leave the city blank and just put the dates and county, the results page will list all papers microfilmed for that time period. Not sure which city would be closest to Washington Creek Cemetery....
