To our Readers:
The Carroll Herald
I dedicate this book of sketches and portraits to the energetic
public spirited men and women who have been instrumental in
building up a community of refined and intellectual people upon
what was in the early history of the lives of most of our
readers a wilderness of prairie. To them more honor is due than
they are generally given credit for. These pioneers have passed
through hardships and privations of which the later generation
known nothing. In this work we have recorded some points of
interest in these lines that in future generations will be much
more highly appreciated then at present. While in the space
allotted in them I have been unable to do them full justice. I
feel that every good word said of each subject is full merited.
We publish herewith a portrait of the editor of the Herald, Mr.
J. B. Hungerford who has the distinction of being the oldest
newspaper man in the city in point of years and the second
oldest in the county. The Herald holds the respected position of
the leading Republican weekly in Carroll county and of being one
of the most ably edited country weeklies in Western Iowa.
Probably no paper in the state aside from the leading daily's
attract more attention and carries more weight in the political
attitude of the parity in this state. His office now occupies
the first and second floor of a large brick block on Main street
and is a bee hive of industry both in the job and bindery
department. There is a force of from nine to twelve persons
employed on the newspaper and in the bindery. The bindery is
owned by our subject and Mr. J. B. Fitzgerald and they are
filled up with the latest machinery for bindery and turn out a
very supreme class of work. --F. W. S.
