Newspapers can get a variety of things wrong. Searches should be creative. The woman who died near Golden, Adams County, Illinois, in 1892 was actually Mrs. Ehme M. Aden–not Mrs. Elmer Aden. And of course this reference to her does not even include her actual first name–which was Reenste.
There are some names that are used for towns in several different states. Is it possible that an informant on a record got the town right but the state wrong?
