Aurora Editor Denounces Malicious Squib and Obituary Notice
This piece defends a local editor against a hostile squib in the Independent Banner labeling Aurora as morally degraded. It accuses the mayor and local officials of misrepresentation and defends the editor’s actions while condemning the power of whisky-influenced politicians. The page also publishes a heartfelt obituary for N. D. Folbre, long-time Banner editor, detailing his life from Putnam Ohio to Aurora, his journalism career, and the community’s mourning. The obituary notes Folbre’s birth April 26 1824 and his years of service in Indiana journalism and medicine.
