 The
Van Alstyne News was established about 1880 by J. Perry Leslie.
S. P. Evans, a school teacher, purchased the paper in 1890.
He operated the newspaper until his death. His wife, Laura
Bell Armour Evans, hired a Colonel E.K. Rudolph to publish the paper. The
next owner, John McComb owned the paper until Scott Fulton bought it,
changing the name to the Van Alstyne Leader.
Since the late 1930s, the Leader has changed owners several times. It is now published by Leader Publishing Company.  Van Alstyne Leader  Van Alstyne History Susan Hawkins © 2024 If you find any of Grayson County TXGenWeb links inoperable, please send me a message. |
