Burke, in January, nineteen hundred five, sold it to J. H. Newlin, and went to Bridgeport.

The Harrison Sun, which came into existence May eleventh, nineteen hundred, was started by Win. II. Ketchmun, then of the Crawford Tribune, and L. C. Wright. It had been purchased by Newlin in the fall of nineteen hundred three, and he had taken possession in February following. He consolidated the Sun with the Press-Journal, and later dropped the first part of the name. Under his efficient management, the Journal is the only paper published in Sioux county at the present time.

J. H. Newlin came to Sioux county about thirty-five years ago, and has since made it his home. He first taught school and was active in educational work. Miss Ella M. Conner in eighteen eighty-eight was teaching the Bodarc school when she and Mr. Newlin met. Miss Conner was from near Plattsmouth and had been attracted to the better wage schedule or the homestead possibilities in the Harrison country. J. H. Newlin and Miss Ella Conner were married May twenty-ninth, eighteen ninety. Both were in the first teachers' institute in Sioux county, and both are yet living.

They have two living daughters : one married Milo E. Wolff and they live on a ranch in Wyoming, thirty miles northwest of Harrison. Bessie, the other daughter is at home and assists on the Journal, in the news notes, the business department, and the linotype department. Both Jessie and Bessie are state normal graduates, and hold life teachers' certificates.
