The Homestead Daily Messenger was the daily newspaper to follow the Local News in 1897. Edited by Chas. A. Sweadner until the paper was sold to the Messenger Publishing Co. in 1898. Messenger Publishing Co. changed the masthead to several variations, such as News Messenger, Daily Messenger, and The Messenger, but they were all the same paper. It was sold in 1967 to Spenley Newspapers, Inc. The paper then ran until August 1979, but this collection ends on June 30, 1979.
