UTAH PRESS ASSOCIATION to Sam Raddon of Park City." A local banker described him as "a man you could leave with money uncounted." Most everyone knew and appreciated that he was slow to anger. He was interested in everything, frequently saying he only wasted his time studying German, adding "Shorthand would have been better." He claimed to have worked 17 hours a day, seven days a week for some 60 years, adding, "at an average wage of 10 cents per hour." Since his death on August 23, 1954, his son, John, Jr. has operated the business with the competent help of his wife, Lu-cile. She has solicited advertising, written news and maintained the books. Five of their children are associated with the printing industry. Howard is the owner-publisher of the Sun Chronicle in Roy, while Dean is editor-photographer for the Clipper. Daughter Merna's husband, Kay, is assistant back-shop foreman at the Standard-Examiner in Ogden. Larry publishes the Manti Messenger and the Ephraim Enterprise and Gail heads the backshop at the Clipper. The only one to escape printing is Niles, who is Chief of Police in Woods Cross. He, however, works part time at the Clipper. So while "Ye Editor" had only one child, he has six grandchildren and 25 great grandchildren carrying on in the tradition he established. An enterprising and progressive newsman, publisher of an outstanding and enduring publication, John Stahle left an indelible imprint on Utah journalism and a legacy of descendants who nearly a century later are emulating his achievements.
