He became owner and publisher of the paper. Grover Hall, Jr. wrote an article commemorating his fiftieth year working at the paper. When "Grandpap" retired in 1963, he was owner and publisher of two newspapers and the Chief Executive Officer. At age 79 he walked with a cane but he still ran the new newspapers.
