''The St. Albans Messenger'' is a newspaper published in St. Albans, Vermont. The newspaper is distributed throughout Franklin County and Northwestern Vermont. ==History== In 1833 ''The Franklin Journal'' was founded in St. Albans as a newspaper advocating the platform of the Anti-Masonic Party. From 1833 to 1837 it was published and edited by Samuel N. Sweet and then Joseph H. Brainerd. Joseph H. Brainerd was the cousin of Lawrence Brainerd.〔L. L. Dutcher, (The History of St. Albans, Vt: Civil, Religious, Biographical and Statistical ), 1872, page 331〕 In 1837 Joseph Brainerd sold the paper to Enoch B. Whiting, who changed the name to ''The St. Albans Messenger''. In 1863 Whiting began publication of the ''Messenger'' as a daily newspaper, and it has continued as a daily since then. In 1871 Whiting sold the ''Messenger'' to Albert Clarke and J. Dorsey Taylor, who merged it with another paper to create ''The Messenger and Transcript''. Clarke became sole owner in 19873 and ran the newspaper with William E. Barrett as editor until 1880, when S. B. Pettingill became the editor. Pettingill also obtained control of another paper, ''The St. Albans Advertiser'', and consolidated their publication as ''The Messenger and Advertiser''. Subsequent publishers and editors included D. W. Dixon, Warren Gibbs, and George T. Childs. In 1892 a corporation was formed to publish the paper, the ''Messenger Company''.〔Marcus Davis Gilman, (The Bibliography of Vermont ), 1897, page 219〕〔Saint Albans (Vt.)
