The Stayton Mail was a weekly newspaper serving Stayton in the U.S. state of Oregon, founded in the mid-1890s. [3] [4] [5] It was published by the Statesman Journal; [6] both papers, along with the nearby Silverton Appeal Tribune, are owned by the national Gannett Company. [7] [4]
History
E. F. Bennett, who had previously tried to buy the Stayton Times (now defunct), started the Mail in 1896. [8] Bennett sold it to H. E. Browne, who later founded the Silverton Tribune, in 1900. [8] Editor Fred G. Conley made a substantial investment in a Mergenthaler typesetting machine in 1908, and changed the publication schedule from weekly to semi-weekly in January 1909. [9] The paper continued to change hands among people associated with various local papers, including the Salem Statesman, a number of times through the late 1930s. [8]
Gannet discontinued the Mail as of Sept. 14, 2022. [10] [11]
