C. M. Whitman, proprietor of the Clay County News, was born in Racine county,
Wis., in 1852, learned his trade at Burlington, Wis.; came to Spencer, Ia., in
1880, and engaged in his present business. The News was the first paper in the
county, having been established at Peterson in 1870 by J. F. Ford, who moved it
to Spencer in 1871. It was purchased by Mr. McCarger, who sold it to W. C.
Gilbreath, and was then purchased by its present owner. This paper is
republican, and an advocate of temperance. Mr. Whitman was married in 1875; his
wife died since coming to Iowa.
