Description | John H. Emerson initiated the Milford Beacon in 1848, later passing it to J. Hart Conrad in 1851, who in turn sold it to James B. Mahan after Conrad's demise. The Beacon, while not explicitly affiliated with any temperance society, generally supported temperance efforts. Expressing Southern sympathies before the Civil War, it published stories like "The Young Rebel: a Tale of the Carolinas" and criticized publications favoring abolitionists. James Mahan, joined by his brother George, rebranded the paper as the Diamond State in 1855, relocating its offices to New Castle. The Diamond State ceased operations circa 1859. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1854 of this newspaper. |
