This index is being compiled by Barbara Quick (barbara@leighton-linslade.com), and is an on-going project. The index, so far, covers the first Leighton Buzzard Observer, published 1st January 1861, and then the subsequent publications from the 10th March 1863 to the 14th July 1863 (unfortunately copies of the newspaper between 1/1/1861 and 10/3/1863 do not seem to have survived).
