From The Telegraph Files

From what can be determined about what appears to be a very brief lifespan of the Nashua Daily Press, it was one of several mostly short-lived newspapers that gave readers an option to the Nashua Daily Telegraph and its "little brother," the Nashua Weekly Telegraph, beginning in 1826, some six years before the Telegraph was founded in 1832. This may be the Press office in the long-gone woodframe building at 146 Main St., but it also briefly occupied space in Railroad Square. Either way, the Press was founded in 1895 by the well-known newsman William O. Clough, who was reporter and editor of the Telegraph for 20 years before "severing connections" with the Telegraph and opening the Daily Press, according to a Telegraph article. Another article that ran in July 1905 announced the Daily Press's demise, stating it was "absorbed" by the Telegraph.
