William H. P. Denny

William H. P. Denny (born 1811; died September 1890) was an American newspaper editor and publisher and politician in Ohio.

The son of George Denny, who was a printer on the newspaper, William was apprenticed with "The Western Star" in Lebanon, Ohio. From circa 1830, he was a partner in the paper and later owned it outright until 1858. Denny then went to Dayton, Ohio, as publisher of the "Dayton Daily and Weekly Gazette".

He then moved to Circleville, Ohio, where he founded the "Union" and then bought the "Wilmington Journal" in Wilmington, Ohio. In 1877, he returned to Lebanon where he founded "The Lebanon Gazette", selling out by 1880 when he moved to Georgetown, Ohio and founded the "Georgetown Gazette". He served as a senator in the 41st and 42nd General Assemblies in 1842 and 1843.
