Big Four 0-3-8-3 Pa, Cash 5 Game 04,16,19, 21 and 34 The Titiuville Htrald is marking its 130th "birthday" today. The first issue hit the streets on June 14, 1865; and was known as the Titusville Morning Herald. It was the successor to a weekly newspaper, The Daily Reporter, and was published by William W. Bloss, a Civil War veteran, and his brother, Henry Culver Bloss, a lawyer. William Bloss came to Titusville from Rochester, N.Y., when Titusville was a rough and busy place of about 5,000 people.

Henry and William had their disagreements, frequently about editorials, with William sometimes slipping into the office in the early mornings to insert editorials of which Henry did not approve. Henry bought out his brother's interest in 1872. The Herald had many homes in its early years. One notable location in 1868 was Crittenden Hall, the old flat-iron building at the front of the Diamond and Spring streets triangle, demolished in the 1965 Better Days redevelopment project. The first home of The Herald was in a three-story structure on South Franklin Street in the Millers Block.

The next site was on West Spring Street next to Corinthian Hall, and the next was at the flat-iron building. The Herald then moved to the corner of South Franklin and Arch streets in 1873 and stayed there for 83 yean. The Herald's current home is the one most familiar to residents of the area today. It was built at 209 W. Spring St.

across from Scheide Park in 1956 at a cost of $165,000. This building is on the site of another famous Titusville structure, the Brunswick Hotel, which was built by the Roberts brothers. Bloas died in his home Feb. 15, 1893. His son, Joseph, took over the reins.

Under Joe Bloss, The Herald converted to Linotype printing, and with the advent of rural free delivery, he turned the newspaper's rural subscribers into daily subscribers. He also bought out The Herald's last major competition, The Evening Courier. Joe sold The Herald on Dec. 1, 1922. The new owner, Edgar Taft Stevenson, was a newspaperman long before he came to Titusville.

He worked for the Oil City Derrick and was eventually editor of The Franklin Evening News. Circulation and advertising increased under E.T. Stevenson and the printing was brought up to date with the installation of a rotary press and stereotype printing plates. DEATHS Money was found in a local doctor's office and can be returned if identified. Call 827-4615.
