Biographical history
The first issue of the Lockhart Review was published on 4 July 1908 by Arthur Clague Cowin, who had previously worked at the Wagga Wagga Express. He retired in 1943 and the newspaper passed to his son, George Cowin, who had managed the Urana Shire Advocate on behalf of his father for many years. (1)
The newspaper was bought by David Gyger, owner of the Riverina Express, in 1959. At the time, the Lockhart Review was published and printed at 144 Green Street, Lockhart. (2) Gyger installed Frank Moorhouse as Editor (3). Frank and his wife Wendy ran the Lockhart Review until 5 October 1960 when they were replaced by Colin Duncan and his wife Noela. (4)
The final issue of the Lockhart Review was published on 22 November 1967. Gyger cited obsolete plant and ever increasing costs as reasons for its demise.
