Worked as a clerk in the Louisville Journal's business office, then opened a bookstore then took over a struggling newspaper, the Daily Dime, which he developed into the Louisville Courier. The Louisville Courier was sympathetic to the Confederacy during the Civil War, which provoked Union troops to seize its offices. Haldeman fled to Nashville, Tennessee then to Madison, Georgia where he published the Courier in exile until after the war ended and he and his family returned to Louisville. He bought the Louisville Journal and the Louisville Democrat newspapers in 1868 and merged them to the Louisville Courier-Journal. In 1884 he founded the Louisville Times as the afternoon counterpart to the Louisville Courier-Journal. In the late 1880s he and several associates developed Naples, Florida as a vacation resort town. Hit by a streetcar in Louisville on May 10, 1902, he died May 13, 1902.) |
