Bloomfield Weekly TribuneLate in the year 1869, W. C. Green founded at Bloomfield a Republican paper called the Bloomfield Weekly Tribune, and published it until his death in the autumn of 1871. The office lay idle, then, until the spring of 1875, when it was revived by John W. Cooper, who began issuing a Republican paper called the Bloomfield News. In the autumn of the same year, the office was sold to J. W. Littell, who issued the paper about a year, when the property passed to O. W. Shryer, who commenced to publish the sheet under the name Bloomfield News. His first number was issued December 31, 1876. He conducted the paper until after the campaign of 1878, when the ownership passed to W. H, Pierce, and the sheet was issued by him until the summer of 1879, and was then purchased by George W. Beard, who since then has remained at its head until the present. Associated with him was Ot Herold, who, on the 1st of January, 1884, sold out to W. B. McKee. The paper is well patronized by advertisers, and has a large circulation. It is said that J. H. Seneff had some claim upon the office soon after Mr. Beard assumed the ownership. This imperfect sketch of the press of Bloomfield is the best that can be given.
