​     The Kansas City Star was not the first "Star" newspaper in Jackson County. In 1832, The Morning and The Evening Star, a Mormon newspaper began publishing in Independence, MO.  
     It was initially published in the printing office of W. W. Phelps in Independence, Missouri. The first issue was printed in June 1832 as volume 1 number 1, and continued until the office was destroyed by a mob on July 20, 1833, in response to an article published in The Evening and the Morning Star about U.S. and Missouri laws regarding slavery.
