Greene County Gazette

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

I am about to remove a line of text that says the Greene County Gazette was published "as early as 1823". While there is a cited source that says so, there are three more reliable sources that say it started publication in 1830 and lasted only 2 or 3 years. If someone wants to incorporate this into the article that is fine but the existing sentence is erroneous and badly sourced.

[1] In May, 1830, Jacob I. Cribbs conducted the Greene County Gazette at Erie. If the old saying to the effect that "the good die young" is applicable to newspapers, The Gazette must have been a very proper and well-behaved periodical, for its existence extended over a period of only three years.

[3] The following newspapers can be found at the Probate Offices in the Eutaw Court House: Greene County Gazette - Published in Old Erie from May 1830 through May 1832
