Emmons County Record

Darwin Reed Streeter founded the Emmons County Record on June 10, 1884, at Williamsport, Dakota Territory, and the Emmons County Republican/Braddock News in 1899. His son, Frank, was the first editor in Braddock and, in 1912, succeeded Darwin at the Record. The Record was first located on the second floor of the stone courthouse at Williamsport when Darwin served as the county's first Clerk of Courts. Later, a wood frame building was erected. The Record and its building were moved in 1899 to the west side of the newly platted Linton. Spring flooding led to the building's next move by teams of horses, this time to Broadway Street. In 1924, Frank built the present building, and the old building was razed. Allan and Leah Burke have published the Record since Oct. 1, 1993.
