• Notes

  http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~ilcoletp/history/history_of/charleston_township.htm The first permanent newspaper established in Charleston was the Courier now known as the Plaindealer. One or two efforts had been made previous to this to start a paper, but a few issues comprised the effort. The first edition of the Courier was issued in 1840. The proprietors were William Harr and William Workman. Harr bought out Workman, who afterward sold an interest to George Harding, now connected with the press of Indianapolis. Harding remained with the Courier until 1857, when he sold his interest to Harr, who conducted the paper until a short time after the emancipation proclamation of President Lincoln, when he sold it to Eli Chittenden, who changed its name to Plaindealer. Chittenden ran the paper for about two years, when he sold it to John S. Theaker, who published it till October, 1866, and sold it to Dunbar Brothers. Albert Dunbar, one of the proprietors, died in 1875, when Lucian Dunbar continued to publish it until in May, 1878, when he sold it to McConnell & Co., the present proprietors. It is Republican in politics, and a live, energetic newspaper. 1850 Census: https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/M85V-VZW 1860 census: Charleston, Coles Co, Illinois Wm Harr 44 Ohio (Publisher) Margaret Harr 45 Virginia Wm A.
