Newspaper: Hanover Herald, October 27, 1835. From Hanover, Pennsylvania. Edited by George Frysinger. Of Austrian descent, Frysinger was born in Hanover in 1811, the son of the local wagonmaker. He was educated at Hanover Academy and apprenticed in the offices of the Baltimore American. He worked in Washington DC but was disabled by an accident and returned to Hanover in 1835 w he established the Hanover Herald. This is an early issue. He continued the paper until 1839. In 1841, he purchased the Lebanon Courier[Lebanon, PA]. He sold that paper in 1846 and bought the Lewistown Gazette[Lewistown PA] and published it until 1883. He was active in Whig and later Republican politics. It appears Frysinger published the Herald 1835-1839. Then it reappears again 1872-1916. This is the election issue for 1835 showing results for state elections in York and Adams counties. [Covers much of the front page]. This is a local paper with local ads for general stores, druggists and the Maryland State Lottery[across the border]. T is also poetry, humor, satire with Ichabod Idle, Thomas Careless and Tim Ploughboy. Much of the rest are "fillers" from other papers that Frysinger felt his readers would enjoy. T is a long article on the "Transit of Mercury" last seen in North America in 1799. Another calls Granville, Ohio, "wholly religious". Mary McKinley read more
