  CHARLES H. DORR, the popular editor and proprietor of the Berwick Independent,
  should feel proud of his success in the field of journalism. When the
  Independent passed into his management it was a four-page sheet and made its
  appearance weekly, but under his capable guidance it has increased wonderfully
  in circulation and has been increased to an eight-page sheet. It has passed
  safely over the troubled waters and now has a smooth sea in which to sail. Mr.
  Dorr has a thorough understanding of the newspaper business and knows how to
  conduct a journal successfully. The reading matter of the Independent is
  selected with the greatest care, its editorials are good, and its local news is
  crisp, fresh and entertaining. The growth and success of this journal reflects
  great credit upon the ability of its editor and manager.
  
    Charles H. Dorr is a. son of Jesse A. Dorr, a lumberman and native of Wyoming
  County, Pa., and was born in Williamsport, Pa. He was educated in the public
  schools of Baltimore, Md., and the seminary at Williamsport, after which he
  entered journalism, his first position being that of manager of the Morning
  Record of Haltzdale. He was next employed in the same capacity for the Courier
  at Osceola, where he remained until 1889, when he removed to Berwick and
  accepted the management of the Berwick Independent for the proprietor, R. S.
  Bowman. Three years later our subject purchased the plant and has since been its
  proprietor and editor. Mr. Dorr was united in marriage to Annie Reedy, a
  daughter of Peter Reedy of Berwick, and they have been blessed with three
  children, namely: Marian and Margaret, deceased; and Herbert. Mr. Dorr is a.
  prominent Mason, being a member of the Knapp Lodge, No. 462, F. & A. M.
