IOWA TRANSCRIPT
IOWA TRANSCRIPT. The Iowa Transcript, Dubuque's third newspaper, was founded by H. H. HOUGHTON in May 1843. It suspended publication in 1843 due to the ill health of Mr. Houghton who sold the paper around April 1, 1844, to Royal Cooper. (1) W. W. Hamilton, Henry Wharton, and Orlando MCCRANEY were in turn owners or part owners. In September, 1845, the paper was suspended and the equipment moved to Rock Island, Illinois. (2)
