Delbert E. Williams

Delbert Williams began his newspaper career as a printer’s apprentice with the Genoa Courier. In 1884, Williams managed the Genoa Courier for his uncle, and under his leadership the paper prospered. He bought the Fallon Eagle in 1907 and over the next 30 years built it into one of the strongest community papers in the state.

Here’s a bit more history about him from “The Newspapers of Nevada,” the definitive list of newspaper ownership in the state.
