Long-time publisher, C.W. Barnes
Friday, February 24, 2023
There are few men whose competitor would pause “in the morning’s work and remained in silence at the paper’s office (McCook Tribune), honoring the publisher of the McCook Republican, C.W. Barnes. Mr. Barnes was at the time being laid to rest in a grave at the Indianola cemetery. Machines were quieted and those engaged in composition of today’s edition paid this traditional honor to the long-time editor of the Republican.” McCook Tribune, December 15, 1933.
