Geo. Musgrave, publisher of the Woodbine Twiner, the county official paper, was
born in Kendall, Westmoreland county, Eng., in 1837; came to America with
parents in 1848; and settled in Harrison county, Ia., in 1851. He first began
the printing business in St. Louis, afterwards at Council Bluffs, and then
engaged in publishing the Western Star, at Magnolia, it being Harrison county's
first paper; was republican in politics. In 1873 he moved his office to Logan,
where he remained three years; and then sold to Geo. Ross, of Harlan, Shelby
county, to which place the office was removed. Mr. Musgrave's next venture was
at Tekamah, Neb., where he published the Nebraska Advocate; finally sold out and
located at Woodbine and established the Twiner, which has a subscription list of
about nine hundred, and an office fitted in first-class manner.
