Line 26:
Vermont newspaperman and Republican politician, [[Frank E. Howe]], bought two [[Bennington, Vermont]], weeklies in 1902 and merged them to form the daily ''Bennington Banner'', of which he was publisher and editor.
Around 1960-1961, the ''Bennington Banner'' was purchased by Lawrence Miller and his brother Donald, the sons of [[Kelton B. Miller]], a politician and newspaperman in nearby [[Pittsfield, Massachusetts]]. Kelton's grandson, also named Kelton Miller, served as publisher of the ''Banner'' from 1977 until 1995, at which point it was purchased by ''MediaNews Group.''<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|title=About Us|url=https://www.benningtonbanner.com/site/about.html|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Bennington Banner|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":1">{{Cite web|last=Press|first=The Associated|title=Former Bennington Banner publisher dies|url=https://www.rutlandherald.com/news/former-bennington-banner-publisher-dies/article_025e310f-c4ed-5cbc-ac88-486d3562b2d2.html|access-date=2021-01-16|website=Rutland Herald|language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|last=Ap|date=1991-04-02|title=Lawrence K.
