d r
v" I
LEBANON Setting his last slick of type after 56 years in

shop foreman and operator at Van's Print Shop, Lebanon. His
career began in 1898 on a pioneer paper in Prosser, Wash.
Veteran Printer, Writer of
Lebanon Takes Retirement
LEBANON Retired this week
after 58 years in the newspaper
field as publisher, editor ana
printer is William K. Brownlow.
He shut off his linotype for the
last time on Jan. 29 at Van's
Print shop where he has worked
since 1945 as operator and fore'
man of the shop.
"I intend to take a long rest,
work around our home in Soda
ville, do some free lance writ
ing, and devote more time to bird
study which hat long been my
hobby, said Brownlow.
Born at Wenatchee, Wash.,
Feb. 16, 1885, he began his ca
reer at the age of 13 as a "print
er's devil" on the old Prosser
Record, then owned and pub
lished by W. A. Maxwell, a pio
neer newspaperman of the North
west. "The Record was band set and
was printed on a Washington
hand press," Brownlow observes.
"There were five of us Brown
low boys and we all started at the
bottom in the printing trade and
worked up. Our father, W. If.
Brownlow, divided his time be
tween mining and newspaper
work, and when he bought the
Prosser Record, my brother and
I operated the business."
Later, W. H. Brownlow &
Sons started The Independent at
Chewclan, Wash., where the elder
Brownlow had mining interests.
Branching out on his own,
young 'William Brownlow started
papers at Tonaskct, Springdnle,
and a number of other Washing
ton towns.
"In those days the small town
newspaper was a one-man busi
ness," he recalls. "The publisher
gathered his news and ads, wrote
and edited, act type, read proof
and did the press work. Some
times he had help in typesetting
and on press days."
Gradually the young man drift
ed into the editorial field, pre
ferring writing to mechanical
work, although he kept in step
with the latest shop methods.
Early in the 1900's he went to
the Philippines with the 14th U.S.
Cavalry as regimental printer,
serving in the army of occupa
tion. He was post printer at Stot
senberg and was transferred to
Corrcgidor during the building
of the famed fort.
Again in the Slates there fol
lowed a wide variety of newspa
per experiences in the middle
west and mountain states. It was
in South Dakota that he married
Miss Betsy M. Howard. They came
to Oregon in 1921, settling in
Sodaville where Mrs. Brownlow
had relatives.

astronomy and telescope build
ing. She was the first woman in
Oregon to make a telescope,

ens and ljas written occasional
articles for astronomy publica

"We have much in common,
and we plan to collaborate on
free lance writing now that

newspaper man. "Our hobbies
too, will be a source of much en
joyment. She has her stars to
study, and I shall have my birds.
This is a time wo have looked
forward to for many years."
