Members with New York ancestry should check out the website called "Fulton History: Old New York State Historical Newspapers." It is a searchable repository of historic newspapers published in New York State between 1795 and 2007, frequently updated. It also includes a handful of U.S. newspapers outside of NYS.
When I stumbled on it by accident recently, I immediately found two obituaries and a short article about a suicide that occurred in 1858. I knew of the death but not the circumstances.

Give it a try if you have any New York connections.
