The following were suggestions from the many friendly librarians of the
Great State of Arizona.
Trial Reporter (left a message with them)
Maricopa County Supreme Court Law Library who wasn't able to assist but
did throw out more ideas
The State Library
The librarian at the Arizona Republic who didn't have a news listing but
suggested other newspapers
And finally to the librarian that found the article at
the Arizona Daily Star who was so very kind enough to do some digging
for me.
Thanks to all for the wonderful ideas - have a great weekend.

Subject: 1979 Newspaper article on Arizona explosion
Can anyone offer suggestions on how to locate an article on an
explosion that took place in Arizona (do not have city or county name)
and a person name J. Benson (not sure if it's a male or female) who won
a $250,000 award. An insured product allegedly caused the explosion. I
have a date of April 6, 1979 but unclear as to whether or not this is
the date of the explosion or the date of the settlement.
I have checked:
newspaperarchive.com
Yearbooks from 1979-1980
Readers' Digest to Periodical Literature
AP Photos
Newspaper Source
Various local library sources (Ebsco, ProQuest, etc.) - most of
which did not go back that far
Google News
contacted the librarian at the Arizona Republic (haven't heard
back from her yet)
contacted our local newspaper librarian
Any leads, ideas, thoughts - there all welcomed.
Thanks - j
