History

The Pine Cone was founded in 1915 by William Overstreet who proclaimed in the first four-page edition of 300 copies, "we are here to stay!"[5] By 1924, the Pine Cone moved into the De Yoe Building, opposite of the Carmel Post Office.[6] Overstreet sold the paper in 1926 to J.A. Easton. The offices move to the Goold Building from 1970 to 2000.[7] [8]

In 1926 writer and activist Perry Newberry was the editor of the Pine Cone and successfully ran for the office of city trustee.[9] Newberry was the paper's co-publisher until he sold it in 1935.[10]
