History & Ownership

Starting in June 1885, U.S.G. Cherry, S.B. Wagner, and W.W. Poultney, graduates of Ohio Normal University, started publishing a "monthly review of the school and societies" from the office of the local newspaper, the Ada Record. It was intended to keep alumni of Ohio Normal University up-to-date on university happenings. [2] The publication grew in popularity and became known as the University Herald. [3] M.L. Snyder and Ralph Parlette bought the Herald in 1895 [4] and changed its name to the Ada Herald in 1916. [5] [6]

Barton Snyder, son of M. L. Snyder, sold the paper to Brown Publishing Co. in 1966. [7] When the Brown Publishing Co. went bankrupt in 2010 the Ada Herald as well as the Van Wert Times Bulletin were purchased for $3.6 million by Delphos Herald Inc. [8] [9]
