Well, that's a temporary fix, IMO. I'd rather find a working link, if possible. For example, I just fixed one by finding a link to an obituary to replace the broken link.
But then I went down a rabbit hole looking up other sources, adding them, researching what a cotton mill duffer does (out of curiosity), and adding that category, and another category....... two hours later, I had one of these broken links done. Can't help myself.
I'm sure there's a happy medium.
