History of Manistee, Mason & Oceana Counties, Michigan
H. R. Page & Co., Chicago - 1882

         [pg 64]
         
         V. W. RICHARDSON, editor of the Manistee Democrat, is a
       native of Pennsylvania. He began his printing experience
       in the office of the Saginaw Enterprise, in 1866. He pub-
       lished a newspaper at Port Austin, Huron Co., for three
       years. For some time he was on the Marquette Journal, and
       later on the Fond du Lac Journal. From the latter place he
       took a position on Peck's Sun, Milwaukee, where he became
       widely known as a brilliant newspaper writer. Last Spring
       he purchased an interest in the Manistee Advocate, now
       Democrat. MR. RICHARDSON is a journalist of unusual ability,
       and he is making the Democrat one of the best papers in the
       State.
