Geneva Gazette Explained

Geneva Gazette^{[1] [2] [3]} was an upstate New York 19th century newspaper that was discontinued in 1901.

History

The first issue was published June 21, 1809.^[4] The paper,^[5] which also used the title Geneva Daily Gazette, was cited by other newspapers,^[2] including The New York Times.^{[1] [6] [7]} Its print frequency was daily for some of its years,^[8] weekly others. The Geneva Gazette and Mercantile Advertiser was another name they used.^[9]

In 1887 they appealed to their readership on behalf of an 1878-founded clerically-operated medical facility, writing that "its doors are ever open to the unfortunate without distinction of faith or nationality."^[10] This was several years before the 1898 opening of a local hospital.

In 1890 the Gazette was one of several newspapers to print (for a fee) a state government notice.^[11]
