Through ifs first sixty years, only four owners had carried out a business which continued to grow with the city and surrounding area. The courage and vision necessary to launch a newspaper in a small community was possessed by the founder of the publication, J. Van Slyke. In spite of his great interest in the business and his feeling for his adopted community, he encountered the many difficulties ishich accompany such an undertaking until the paper attained a standing that brought pride to its owner. The Plaindealer, fourth paper in the county, was first published on Wednesday, an odd looking journal with the front page covered with advertisements and the news items in the center. Other papers then in existence were the Woodstock Sentinel, started in 1856 and where Van Slyke worked before coming to McHenry; the Harvard Independent, founded ift 1865; and the Marengo Republican in 1867. These early papers were started in a time when personjournalism was common. Editors quarreled with each other in the columns of their papers, and fortunately many of the things said at that time are no longer seen in the publice press. Nowhere more clearly than in a newspaper can a lifetime of a community be portrayed. Changes in a paper reflect changes in the time§ and their pages will long be read with interest by those who would get a clearer picture of the development of a given area.
