On December 27, 1912, The Eastern Reflector was formally discontinued and absorbed into The Daily Reflector publication. In 1901, they moved into their third building at 300 Evans Street. A few years later in 1894, the newspaper moved to its second location on Evans Street near Fifth Street and Dickinson Avenue (formerly occupied by Higgs Sisters-Fashions & Millinery). On November 24, 1891, Whichard began publishing an "experimental" daily edition titled The Daily Reflector. A name change occurred on April 29, 1885, when the first issue of The Eastern Reflector was published.īy 1885, David's brother Julian had moved to Salisbury, North Carolina to start his own newspaper, leaving his brother David the sole proprietor of the newspaper. The premiere issue (called The Reflector) was published on January 26, 1882. The brothers had acquired the equipment from operations at the Greenville Express, a local newspaper they were both working for at the time. Initially they installed printing equipment at their mother's one-room schoolhouse at West Third and North Pitt Streets in Greenville, North Carolina and setup the newspaper's first printing offices. The newspaper was originally conceived in 1881 by brothers David Jordan Whichard and Julian R. From its creation until the present day no less than four generations of the Whichard Family have headed the newspaper. The story of The Daily Reflector and the Whichard Family of Pitt County go hand-in-hand.
