I was looking for a person in Tipton, Indiana and did a Google newspaper search for Tipton, Indiana. I got this newspaper hit.
===============================
Lafayette, Nicollet County, Minnesota
Lafayette Ledger – May 11, 1907
Saturday

=====
The person I was looking for was not on this newspaper but these three other Tipton, Indiana residents were:
- G. Burkhart
- Treloar-Tresidder
- Walter W. Mount
They had signed a letter to the Canadian Government which was now being published in this May 11, 1907 Minnesota newspaper.
=======================================
I may not have found my person but I might have helped someone find their relative who left Tipton, Indiana for the wild west Canadian wilderness.

The same Canadian letter in this newspaper

I hope this post has given you some historical information and perhaps solved a mystery of what happened to your Indiana relatives.
Thank You.
