J. F. Erving bought an interest in the "Times."

The evidence

• “Although Bishop and the Wright brothers seem to have published the "Times" until January 26, 1859, when J. F. Erving bought an interest, I am unable to give the date when the paper w^as finally discontinued, but probably about 1859 or 1860, "The Picayune," monthly, published by George R. Curtiss in the early 70s and devoted to the drug business and current politics.”
