The answer is yes. Newspapers like the Fitchburg Sentinel had a Bank Village section and a New Ipswich section. You could learn who visited who, when so & so opened or closed their home, who is sick or in the hospital, how many pieces of mail Willmore Ashley delivered in Nov of 1913 (3358 in 122 hrs), you would learn which homes are being painted or repaired. I think Bank Village had its own section due to the fact it was the summer residence of a number of notable families.
All these obituaries are getting depressing. Do they ever do birth announcements, weddings, anniversaries, etc.
If the society had those documents I would be happy to post them. What I do have is an entire book of obituaries.
