History of Kensington, Kansas - Centennial Edition,
1987
Newspaper
The Kensington
Mirror was established May 10, 1888 by C.E. Nelson
and Jas. Beacom, who sold it to O.L. Reed in 1890.
In 1893 it was purchased by Allen Sanford and Bert
Cornell. Two years later in February James Boyd
purchased Mr. Cornell's interest, and a few years
later Mr. Sanford sold his interest to C.V.
Eberstein. In 1907 Walter Boyd purchased the Mirror
and continued its ownership until it ceased
publication in May 1962. Walt Started working in the
newspaper office at the age of 14 as a "printer's
devil" and thus was in the profession for over 60
years. He held the distinction of being in business
longer that anyone in Kensington. Walt continued to
do job-printing until 1965 when poor health forced
him to quit.
