The Leedey Times And Herald

Content Provider	The Gateway to Oklahoma History
Description	The Leedey Times and Herald was a weekly newspaper published in Leedey, Dewey County, Oklahoma, during the early 20th century. Initially edited by A.C. Bradshaw from 1916 to 1924, and later by W.W. Denson in 1924, the newspaper served as a vital source of information for the local community. It featured a blend of local, state, and national news, along with advertisements, reflecting the interests and concerns of its readership. The publication aimed to support the development of Leedey and Dewey County, as indicated by its masthead: "Democratic Politically, But for the Upbuilding of Leedey and Dewey County Above All." The newspaper's archives, including issues from 1916 to 1924, are accessible through The Gateway to Oklahoma History, providing valuable insights into the region's history and community life during that period. It played a central role in documenting the civic, social, and economic life of its rural community during a transformative period in Oklahoma’s early statehood. Politically Democratic yet broadly focused on local progress, the paper consistently emphasized the development and betterment of Leedey and the surrounding region. Its content included a wide array of community-centered reporting such as local government updates, school and church news, personal milestones like weddings and obituaries, and detailed coverage of agricultural activities—the backbone of the area's economy. Regular editorials provided commentary on state and national issues, while advertisements from local merchants supported small-town commerce and offered a glimpse into everyday consumer life. By blending political awareness with grassroots reporting, The Leedey Times and Herald served as both a watchdog and a unifying voice for its readers, offering a valuable historical record of rural Oklahoma’s values, concerns, and aspirations during the early 20th century.
