Description | The Paducah Weekly Sun traces its origins to the Paducah Daily Sun, founded in 1877, with a corresponding Weekly Sun edition. Under the ownership of Frank M. Fisher, the Paducah Daily Sun evolved, and by 1898, it became known simply as the Paducah Sun. In 1901, the Sunday Chat was introduced, and by 1902, the Paducah Sun (Weekly ed.) began publication on Thursdays, later renamed the Paducah Weekly Sun. Initially featuring four pages, it expanded to six columns of regular type, mirroring its daily counterpart. With substantial local coverage, it reported on events like the Black Patch Wars and racial violence. In 1929, it merged with the News=Democrat, forming the Sun-Democrat until reverting to the Paducah Sun in 1978. Today, the Paxton family continues to own and operate the paper, maintaining its longstanding legacy in Kentucky. NDLI hosts contents from/of year 1906 of this newspaper. |
