History

Rev. Dr. Louis A. Lambert [7] and Bishop Stephen V. Ryan [8] [9] founded The Catholic Union in 1872 in Waterloo, New York. [3] It became The Catholic Union and Times [10] after a merger [3] in 1881. [11] Editors included Katherine Eleanor Conway and Irish-American community leader and priest Patrick Cronin (1836–1905). [3] In August 1939, another merger with The Catholic Echo [12] created the Catholic Union and Echo. [1] Horace Frommelt was an editor, [13] and Father William P. Solleder a managing director, [14] [15] in the early 1940s, and the paper took an anti-war stance. [16] [17] Bishop James McNulty sought a name change in 1963, and a public naming contest resulted in the title Magnificat being adopted. [18] In March 1966, the body of then editor, Reverend Monsignor Francis J. O'Connor, was found floating in Scajaquada Creek with facial bruises. [19] The publication became known as the Western New York Catholic in 1981. [1]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Empire Airlines (1974–1986)</span> 1974–1986 US airline that merged into Piedmont

Empire Airlines was a small jet carrier serving mainly New York and adjacent states with the stated aim to be “chief airline for the Empire State”. Empire was a small but notable deregulation success, pulling itself up by its bookstraps and achieving industry recognition. Empire stayed break-even or better, despite aggressive competition by much larger and/or better capitalized airlines, the turbulence of the early deregulation era and many years of substantial expansion. The airline achieved annual revenues of about $90mm before accepting a purchase offer from Piedmont Airlines in October 1985. The transaction closed in early 1986 and after a brief period, Empire merged into Piedmont. Piedmont itself merged into USAir in 1989 which, many years later, bought American Airlines in 2015.
