Since 1851- 'Read All About It'

Next came the Hawley Free Press, published by Charles K. Beardslee starting September 4, 1863. The weekly lasted 2-1/2 years. Ownership in that time passed to Jacob Smetters, F.A. Dony and C. B. Cotter. 1863 was a significant year for Hawley; the Erie railroad line was established, to transfer Pa. Coal Company coal to the steam train rather than the canal. The next newspaper was much more successful, and is still remembered to this day. The Hawley Times was founded in 1874 by H.P. and Frank Woodward and lasted nearly 70 years. The paper was interrupted for three months in 1876 and for 15 months in 1918-1919. The Hawley Times lasted until 1943, when it was merged with The Citizen-Tiimes in Honesdale. “I watched the Line-o-type operators and pressman many a time,” Sheridan said fondly of his boyhood days. This was the late 1930’s; he said he didn’t have to cross the street so it was fine for him to go there. He said that the building still stands; there were living quarters on the Hudson Street level, and the paper was printed in the “basement” of the split-level building, on the river-side of Hudson. He said that he and his dad operated the printing business in Jeffersonville, NY, and printed Calhoun’s newspaper.  Calhoun eventually bought the equipment from the Hunts. In 1957, J. Vance Hunt and Phil Hunt moved to Hawley. The Pike Wayne Gazette was already defunct. The Hunts considered moving the paper to Jeffersonville, but chose Hawley since the area was booming. The News Eagle’s corporate history extends back the furthest through the background of The Citizen-Times.  This newspaper’s roots extend to The Wayne County Free Press, established January 1, 1838 in Bethany, Pa., north of Honesdale.  In November 1842 this became the Beechwoodsman; in on September 17, 1844, re-emerged as The Honesdale Democrat, publishd at Honesdale.  In 1864 with new ownership it became The Repubic, followed in June 1868 as The Wayne Citizen. On June 12, 1873, it was renamed The Honesdale Citizen.   On June 1, 2005, The News Eagle was relocated to The Dime Bank building at 303 Main Avenue. Printing operations were shifted to The Wayne Independent. Subsequent publishers were Steve Fountain and Glenn Khoury. Employed 28 years for The News Eagle, Khoury is the Advertising Sales Manager. Michelle Hessling, publisher at The Wayne Independent since October 2009, also oversees The News Eagle as well as The Carbondale News and The Villager in Moscow, Pa. These four newspapers have been owned by GateHouse Media for several years.
