John S. Gilmore established one of the earliest newspapers, first as The Guilford Citizen in 1870, then the Neodesha Citizen, and finally the Wilson County Citizen, published in Fredonia. In 1961 The Gilmore family sold the Citizen to Joseph and Rita Relph and the Relph family continues to operate the paper.
In 1973, to celebrate the journalistic accomplishments of John S. Gilmore, the Wilson County Citizen published an account of his life and career, complete with excerpts from his personal diaries. Click on the button below to read the article.
