Alva Fleharty

A native of Galesburg, Illinois, Alva Fleharty first worked for the Omaha Bee then became foreman of the composing room at the Salt Lake Tribune before moving to Boise in 1901 to manage the composing room and telegraph office at the Idaho Statesman.[3] He worked for the Statesman over two years, but in 1903 when the West Side Index in Newman, California, was for sale Alva and Maude (Chandler) Fleharty purchased the Index and moved to California.[4] At the time, the Flehartys had lived in the Alva Fleharty House less than one year. They sold the house to W.G.M. Allen in 1903.[5]

Fleharty published the Index for 33 years. He died in Turlock, California, in 1947.[6]
