Obituary - Lewis Zim

The Ouachita Telegraph
Friday, January 15, 1875
Page 3, Column 2

We are pained to find in the Franklin Sun an announcement of the death of Col. Lewis Zim, the venerable and highly esteemed editor of that paper.

Col. Zim was probably the oldest editor in the State. Many years ago he had charge of the Louisiana Courier, at that time the organ of the democracy in this State. Subsequently he removed to Alexandria where he published the Gazette we believe, and then about 1857 changed his location to Winnsboro.

We tender to his bereaved wife and son our sincere condolence. The Sun, we are pleased to find, will continue to be issued regularly.
