Charles Ly Stryker and the Washington venture
A fragmentary tribute recalls Charles Ly Stryker, a shy twenty one year old from Hagkettstown who arrived in Washington to learn newspaper business. Lacking funds and confidence, he found work on Main Street guidance and built a small paper from near bankruptcy to a paying plant by courting subscribers and advertisers. He later retired in 1919 after selling the plant to Robertsen, transferring his legacy to a new owner.
