[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] Crumbie, assistant postmaster at the time, and met the untoward fate above alluded to. The Westchester and Putnam Sentinel, as previously stated, mada its bow to the public of Peekskill, and" uttered its modest wish for subscribers, on the 22d of April, 1830. Samuel Marks & Son, who were printers, booksellers, bookbinders and stationers, of Peekskill, were the proprietors. June 26, 1832, Samuel Hues-tis and James Brewer became publishers, the former proprietors moving to New York City. October 23d following, James Brewer became sole publisher, and on February 5, 1833, Samuel Huestis succeeded him in that position. The paper finally died of the old complaint — lack of public support. The Sentinel was a Whig journal. Samuel Marks & Son, having returned from New York City, started a new paper in Peekskill, on Tues-day, February 26, 1833, which they called the West-chester and Putnam Republican. On the death of his son, Samuel Marks became sole editor. On February 27, 1834, the paper passed into the possession of Wil-liam Richards, a former school-teacher in Peekskill, and a Henry Clay Whig. December 7, 1852, Mr. Richards handed the paper over to General Joseph J. Chambers. For a time subsequently, Matthew F. Rowe was editor, but was again succeedeu by General Chambers. The Westchester Herald, of Sing Sing, having ceased publication in January, 1857, leaving only the Hudson River Chronicle to occupy the field, General Chambers removed his paper thither the same year.
