History
While claiming antecedents dating back to 1845, [5] the Examiner itself was founded in 1874 by Samuel D. Gordon. [1] It quickly became the leading democratic newspaper in the South Branch Valley, and was in those early years the only newspaper published in Hardy county. [6]
Sam McCoy's son-in-law, Ralph E. Fisher, took over the paper in 1935 after Sam's death, [7] [8] with Sam's wife Eunice as co-publisher. [9] For five years it was run as a co-op while Fisher was on active duty in the Navy. [7] Fisher died of a heart attack, at age 62, in 1968. [8] Since that time the paper has been run by his daughter. Phoebe F. Heishman, her husband David, and their son James. [10] The paper's website claims the newspaper is Hardy County's only locally owned and operated newspaper. [10]
