Newspaper Deal Sparks Factional Ill Will Across Thirteen Publications

Friends of Frank J Mains and E E Hall report that the Democrat News and Record Crescent consolidation left sharp hurt feelings. The new entity promised space for reporters and printing work in the old offices but later redirected duties to the Democrat and News, leaving Mains and Hall with little more than a gnawed file as a symbol of the break. Other notes include multiple marriage licenses, a death in Evansport, probate filings, visits from regional residents, and CJ Thompson’s tenure as senior English publisher in Defiance County. A Bucyrus Presbyterian church closed to the anti-saloon league, deemed a political body, is also mentioned.
