About

The Ceredo Advance began publication in October 1885. Published weekly, it was originally owned and operated by Col. Thomas Theodore (T. T.) McDougal and W. I. Mansfield; however, by December 1885, McDougal was the sole proprietor of the paper. McDougal was a career newspaper operator, starting around 1882, when he bought Lee C. Salyes’s interest in the Ceredo Enterprise. He published that paper for a while, then went on to launch the Ceredo Advance in 1885 and the Kenova Reporter around 1892. Ceredo, a suburb of Huntington, West Virginia, is situated just beneath the Ohio border and also right next to the Kentucky border. Due to this close proximity, many stories and advertisements within the paper are from other states, and thus speak to the connection that Ceredo had with Ohio and Kentucky in addition to West Virginia
