The Western Outlook, 1894-1928: A Newspaper Devoted to the Interests of the Negro on the Pacific Coast

| | Unformatted Document Text:
It is unclear what happened to his brother, George.
By 1900, Joseph Francis was sharing a home on Pleasant Street in San Francisco with his
parents, who had celebrated their golden wedding anniversary that year.
48
Francis was
described as a newspaper editor. His father assisted with collections.
49
Joseph married a woman named Laura about three years later.
50
They established a
home on Seventh Street in Oakland and had two children: Robert and Mary.
51
For some reason,
Francis no longer described himself as an editor. Instead, he was listed as a clerk for the
railroad.
52
Early in 1916, Francis, fiftysix, was forced to “lay aside” his editorial work due to a
“severe illness.”
53
In a published note, Laura thanked people for their help and good wishes
during his slow convalescence.
54
It is unclear whether he returned to his duties at the
Outlook.
He continued to be listed in the masthead through July 22, 1916, but a gap in the paper’s run
illustrates the challenges inherent in historical research. Microfilmed issues do not resume until
October 22, 1921, when the
Outlook had a new look—and a new editor: Jesse Wysinger, fifty
five, a California native who also worked as a porter at a paper company.
55
He may have
inspired his eighteenyearold daughter, Gladys, who later became an editor at the
San Francisco
Spokesman, to pursue a career in journalism.
56
“The People’s Paper”
Initially,
The Western Outlook was published every Saturday at 425 Montgomery Street in
San Francisco and sent to subscribers “by the early morning mails.”
