The Gainesville Daily Times' first issue came off a second hand flat-bed press in a former funeral home on a Sunday morning, Jan. 26, 1947. While there were doubts at times that first issue would make it, The Times' presses have never missed a run since. The post-war years looked promising in Northeast Georgia, and founders Charles and Lessie Smithgall believed it was time for a daily newspaper based in Gainesville.
