Meese, veteran of the days
when an operator was more than

He had been a commercial
telegraph operator for five
years before he was assigned TO
Lansing to copy the days news

Press over the clicking Morse
wires in 1913. He previously had
worked for the Associated Press
in Detroit, Newark, Ohio, and
Port Huron.
MeeSe was the sole Associated
Press employee in this city when
he first arrived. his duties in
the capital city consisting most

In 1888 the Associated Press
