But don't let them have volunteers transcribe them, because they'll become unintelligible, and anyone who accesses them will be forced into a sort of mormon transcription slavery just to read them. [I'm thinking of the execrable transcription of the Milwaukee County Vital Records gifted to the mormon's retail site by the Milwaukee Public Library.]

Sing along to the tune of beloved Edelweis:
Epstein files, Epstein files, please expose them completely.
Your denial's out of style, now you're coming off 'weakly'.
What's in them so heinous you can't show? Prove you're no transgressor.
Epstein files, Epstein files ... Yes! They'll haunt you forever.
Besides the news stories about the horrific political assassination of Melissa Hortmann and her husband by a deranged christian nationalist self-styled preacher, Milwaukee's German-American papers might have had multiple obituaries, repeated death notices (some maybe with pending info), followed by the funeral details, fraternal notices, reporting about the funeral & burial event. Then there might be family thanks, and even later, more notices of thanks from the family, and very possibly possibly death anniversary notices in following years.
If this had been the 1860s and 1870s, you might've found an edition with this horrible news about a beloved public figure lined with heavy black borders, running vertically between the entire length of each column, as the newspaper draped itself in mourning.
