THE LIVERMORE GAZETTE

The Livermore Gazette was stated September 30, 1882, by C. B. Hull.  It was first printed at Lake Mills.  On January 19, 1883, there was a change in management wherein Jay Boright became its editor and it was printed in Humboldt.  The first issue of it published in its own town and with its own outfit was advanced by George Tillson of Livermore and the management was undertaken by M. A. Bancroft of Independence who was to become proprietor when all debts were paid.  In a like manner on February 1, 1884, the present editor and proprietor, W. F. Miller took possession of it and issued it as an independent republican paper, the policy by the way which has been pursued from the first.  W. F. Miller, the present editor of the Livermore Gazette, was born in Fayette, Iowa.  He has followed the newspaper business since he was ten years of age.  Mr. Miller came to Livermore from Independence and brought the Gazette.  As he had little capital to carry on the work the same was advanced to him by George Tillson on very favorable terms but it required only a short time for the plant to pay for itself and become one of the papers of Humboldt County.

On January 17, 1945, the Livermore Gazette's presses stopped forever.  After sixty-three as editor and publisher, W. F. Miller retired.
