History [ edit ]

The Cowra Free Press was established in 1878 by proprietor Joseph

Charles Ryall, who remained associated with the paper until he died, aged
91, in 1935. The first issues of the paper were published at the office of The
Cowra Free Press, front page, 7
Grenfell Record and Lachlan District Advertiser.[2] After Ryall's death, the January 1911
paper was published by family members, with his son, R. J. Ryall as
manager and editor. In April 1937 the paper was sold to Earnest Rowland
Moulten and Mr R. J. Neve.[3][4][5] On 1 June 1937 the paper was renamed the Lachlan Leader "with which is
incorporated the Cowra Free Press".[6][7] The Lachlan Leader was absorbed by the Cowra Guardian in October
1943.[5]

Digitisation [ edit ]
