History

The first edition of the newspapers was published on Thursday, September 18, 1862.[3]

In 1911, Russell Kessler started working at the paper as a printers "devil" for a weekly wage of $7. Kessler purchased the paper and became sole owner in 1936. He married Lillian Holt in 1939, who became the paper's owner following his death in 1943.[3]

In the late 1960's, Lillian's nephews Mike and Pat Reilly started work at the paper. Lillian died in 1984, and Pat and Mike are co-publishers of the paper as of 2023.[3]
