Mr. Fulkman con- tinued at Townsend's as their job printer until March lY, 1885, when he was succeeded by the late Sim Dins- more, formerly of Beaver. Globe Advertiser. The "Globe Advertiser," a monthly paper, was pub- lished from 1875 to 1879 by the Globe Printing Company. Later it was changed to a weekly and published by W. C. Fessenden and John Rohm. Others connected with it from tim^e to time were Ed. Hutchinson, G. W. Penn and John Mellon. A morning edition of the paper called the "Herald" was started by the Globe but soon after suc- cumbed. Mr. Mellon later secured control of the weekly "Globe," and consolidated it with the "Beaver Star" in 1887, of which u. more complete account appears in the history of the Beaver "Star." John Mellon was the son of William and Mary J. Mellon of Beaver Falls. His father was a miller in that place for eight years, after which he operated a feed store. His paternal ancestors were Irish, who came to America in. 1816, and his maternal ancestors were Scotch, among the pioneers of Westmoreland county. Pa. After retiring from the "Star," Mr. Mellon went to Florida for the benefit of his health, where he died. He engaged in newspaper work there for some time, luitil his health finally gave way. He was an intelligent and energetic worker, and did his part in making stronger and better the journalism of the county.
