About

The Clarksburg [West Virginia] Telegram traced its roots back to the tumultuous days of the Civil War. The weekly Telegram was founded in Clarksburg in 1874 by Robert S. Northcott, a Unionist and Republican who had spent time in the Confederate Libby Prison in Richmond, Virginia. Northcott eventually turned the reins of the Telegram over to Wilbur F. Richards and Nathan Goff, Jr., a United States Senator. In 1891, a consortium of men purchased the paper from the Richards and produced a weekly iteration of the Clarksburg Telegram, with Stuart Reed serving as the initial editor.
