Addison Independent Publisher Angelo Lynn said today the acquisition took place October 1. The Times' circulation area is the southernmost of a "family" of western Vermont newspapers owned by the brothers Angelo and/or Emerson Lynn. 

The new publisher is Polly Lynn, daughter of Angelo. Her sister, Elsie, publishes the Essex Reporter and the Colchester Sun. The Lynn brothers themselves are sons of a newspaper publisher, making theirs a three-generation family of publishers.
