History
editT. Hop first published the Marysville Globe on Feb. 2, 1892. He sold to Steve Saunders,[3] who operated it for nine years until selling it in 1901 to Richard Bushell Jr.[4] A year later the paper's printing plant was destroyed in a fire.[5]
Dewitt C. Owen owned and operated the paper for nearly 16 years until his death in 1932.[6] It was then purchased from his estate by Leon L. Stock[7][8] and he published it for six years until selling the Globe to Walter A. Dudley and his son Gerald. A. Dudley in 1938.[9] They published the paper for five years until Sim R. Wilson purchased it in 1944.[10]
The Wilson family ran the paper until selling it to Sun News, Inc. in 1997. A decade later the company sold the Globe and Arlington Times to Sound Publishing.[11] The company suspended printing of several newspapers, including the Globe and Times, in March 2020 due to the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. By April, furloughs and layoffs at Sound Publishing left both newspapers without any staff.[12][13]
Delivery
editSince November 28, 2007, the Marysville Globe delivers one paper to every home with a Marysville address or in the city urban growth boundary/city limits.[14]
