Redmond, John


During Redmond’s career, the Daily Republican was published in a town with a population of under 2,500, making it one of the smallest towns to support a daily newspaper for such a continuous period.

Redmond was a leader in his community and state prior to his death in 1953. He was a member of the State Historical Society, past president of the Kansas Press Association and a member of the board of trustees of the William Allen White Foundation. He also gained recognition for his work of promoting flood control in the state.
