Thanks for the info on J.E. Garner and the Almena Star newspaper with George W. Shook in 1885 jointly publishing this paper. John T. Garner and an A.T. Bratton, co-published the Beaver City Times at least in 1881. This could very well be our John T. Garner (at least the time period and the occupation match). Will research further. Thanks so much for your help!

I would interlibrary loan the Almena Star on microfilm from Kansas State Historical Society. It's all on one reel, and you could find some personal references to the publisher.
