Denious, Jess C. Sr.



In 1910, Denious purchased an interest in the Dodge City Globe-Republican. He bought out his partner a year later and continued to publish the Globe until his death four decades later.

Said the Pittsburg Headlight after his death on December 1, 1953: “Jess Denious was a man of quiet firmness. He was fearless in everything he did and it was merely because it never occurred to him to do anything else.

“He never put on a show, although Jess Denious in action was, in fact, an entertainment as well as an inspiration.”
