Administrative history
The first meeting of the Newberry Rural Telephone Co. was held on May 22, 1912. The first board consisted of D.W. Newberry - President, F.B. Johnson - Vice President, W.F. Jacobs - Secretary/Treasurer and as directors S.R. Newberry, Jas. Sinclair, S.P. Peterson. One item suggests a 1910 incorporation but all other documents refer to the 1912 start date.
The company operated a small rural telephone system in the Archive area, south of Moose Jaw.
The last date of operation is unknown. The last date of the records is 1956 but they are incomplete.
