The Hamiota Echo Turns Fifty One Years Old
The Hamiota Echo notes its fifty second year of publication with only two missed issues since 1919 due to the flu and New Year. The piece traces the paper’s lineage from The Hustler started by H C Clay in 1892, through owners Frank Middleton and Charles W Venables, James Ross, and the renaming to The Hamiota Herald, then The Echo under Venables and James Collinson, with Ed L Stone joining Venables.
