This Marion Daily Republican staff photo dates from the late 1940’s and was taken in their office located where the American Legion was located later for decades in the southeast corner of the square next to Speed’s bus stop. It was also the earlier location of the Leader published by James P. Copeland and a few other papers before it as well.

Shown left to right are Louie McGowan, Julian Richey, John L. Miller, Kenny Williams, Edwin Soldner, Melvin Edwards, and Wilbert Soldner.
