You can’t just stop with these clippings! Think of the possibilities!
Go to the current real-world location of each disaster (the ones with the maps would work best), take a fresh photo or two from a good viewpoint, match the angle of the “original” if you’re really into it (Google Street View would be a weak substitute, sorry, much too easy). Post ’em on line. Mark up a modern map to correspond to the old ones.
Recruit a volunteer brigade, convene at a downtown watering hole (adult version) or local high school (student version), and make a scavenger hunt out of finding and documenting the sites. Time limits required, but offer rewards, too. Post ’em on line. Repeat.
Post the on-line things on posts at the very sites. Take pictures of _those_. And post ’em on line too!
Repeat. A few times. Then get a book deal. (It’s been a decade since somebody did that, and it was in New York, so no one would catch the borrowing. Well, so what if they did.)
I suspect the War front tragedies supplanted the daily disasters. But I don’t like to get ahead of the story. I read the paper as it was published on this same date 100 years ago.

Did things get better in the city in 1914?
Excellent suggestion Mark. Go for it!
