Dan Hamilton's Brookfield Research Website now hosts Brookfield Area Historical Newspapers 1872-1953 in PDF format. These files do take a long time to load, but if you research families from Spencer, the Brookfields, Leicester, or Charlton, they are worth waiting for. A rich source of obituaries, and information about town and family events, you will need to set aside some time to peruse digital copies of the Spencer Sun, Weekly Times, and Spencer Leader. Take some time from shoveling snow and browse some old newspapers while you relax in front of the fire. You are likely to find something of interest that is relevant to your genealogical research.
