Because Davisville did not have a newspaper for most years in the nineteenth century, researchers are especially dependent on those published in nearby towns in order to learn about the town.

Valerie Vann has compiled a handy list of 13 of such papers and the libraries in which they can be found. In pdf and easily downloadable, it is in File 2, "Topics," on this web site.
