Storied Ottawa Herald career ends with longtime ad rep retirement
Darrell Mullen, 1103 S. Willow, retires as advertising representative for The Ottawa Herald after a decades long ascent through the newspaper business. He began delivering papers as a youth, learned typesetting, and held multiple posts in Parsons, Baxter Springs, and Ottawa before returning in 1960 and serving until retirement. He recalls meeting Harris Enterprises founders in 1957 and notes Ottawa’s changing landscape from many grocers to a smaller town. He remains active with local groups and First Baptist Church.
