Pre-1903 history of the area has already been covered in multiple venues, including J. August Lithen’s 2019 book, The Road to Marion Town. The book ends with the town’s 1904 fire, which is where the microfilmed newspapers and the online newspapers will pick up. #DigMarion

From 1903 to 1944, The Marion Press had only one editor, a man by the name of Charles Sadler. Charles Sadler bought the Marion Dispatch in 1899, survived the fire of 1904 under The Marion Press without missing an issue, and retired in 1944. #DigMarion
