Origin of a historic name; Unterrified Democrat

The U.D. has a long and proud history, being published in Linn since 1866.

The Unterrified Democrat has one of the greatest names in the newspaper business. How the paper got its name is an interesting story.

Lebbeus Zevely, the founder of the Unterrified Democrat, was a Democratic member of the Missouri State Senate. He had moved to Missouri from North Carolina and had many southern friends from North Carolina and southern sympathizer friends from Missouri. Zevely himself was unquestionably very loyal to the union.

On April 8, 1865, the Missouri legislature approved what was called the Drake Constitution and submitted it to the voters for ratification. The measure was intended to penalize southern sympathizers by requiring them to take a loyalty oath before being able to vote, teach, preach or sit on a jury. In that oath they had to swear they had not sympathized with the cause of the South.
